Methodology
The site is designed as a curated scholarly portal. Its source records privilege stable links, transparent metadata, and editorial notes that can be reviewed and revised over time.
The launch corpus covers PRC official documents, international legal materials, Chinese state practice, think tank reports, and literature. Records are chosen because they reveal China's approach to sovereignty, force, economic order, sanctions, BRI, or dispute settlement.
Bibliographic display follows an OSCOLA-like legal style: institutional author, title, document symbol or publication context where available, date, and source link. Records keep source URLs visible and avoid hiding authority behind summaries.
The default policy is link-and-cite. The site does not mirror copyrighted scholarship or institution-controlled PDFs unless later review confirms permission, public-domain status, or a preservation need.
Launch annotations are concise editorial scaffolding for review. Public release should retain only notes that have been checked by Professor Wang or an authorized editor.
