Why trust this site?
Verified at the source
Every conclusion carries a quote of the official Chinese text plus a direct link. We read nia.gov.cn, not someone's retelling of it.
Ambiguity, flagged honestly
Where the official wording leaves room for interpretation, an amber note says what's unclear, our reading, and what to do about it.
Change history kept
When a policy changes, the timeline grows. Old values are archived — never quietly rewritten.
