Chinese public-source intelligence
Chinese-language public-source intelligence for defined questions
When a question depends on China, English-language research often leaves critical context untested. Names may be rendered several ways, corporate identities can be confused, and a repeated claim may not be well evidenced. China Presence 90 is a fixed-scope, seven-business-day diagnostic using lawful Chinese-language public sources. For a defined set of names, entities and questions, we map the visible search footprint, resolve identity and relationship ambiguities, compare claims across sources and record where corroboration is absent or incomplete. The result is a concise evidence base and a practical sequence of next actions for organisations and private individuals. It is not covert collection, privileged access or a guarantee of completeness; conclusions are bounded by the agreed scope and the public record.
When this review is useful
Start with the decision, not the campaign.
Strategy, communications and risk teams
Test China-related assertions across briefings, media coverage or counterpart materials.
Private clients and their advisers
Obtain a structured view of a person’s or organisation’s visible Chinese-language record.
Diagnostic output
A bounded record of what can be supported.
Each finding is tied to the reviewed source set and date. Unknowns stay visible; third-party outcomes stay independent.
Query and source map
Chinese name variants, keywords and material public-source results, with URLs and access dates.
Identity and entity matrix
Variants, roles, affiliations and possible cases of conflation.
Claims and evidence ledger
Material claims classified by available support, contradiction or unresolved status.
Diagnostic brief
Findings, limitations, evidence gaps and proportionate next actions.
Seven-business-day method
Evidence first. Sequence second.
The diagnostic establishes a reliable baseline before implementation, outreach or public claims are considered.

Questions before engagement
Scope, limits and evidence.
What does public-source intelligence mean here?
It means information lawfully accessible to the public, collected and assessed against an agreed question. It does not imply access to private databases or non-public systems.
Is the diagnostic comprehensive?
No public-source review can establish everything. The work is bounded by the agreed scope, discoverability and what is available during the review. Material limitations and gaps are stated explicitly.
How are conflicting claims handled?
We preserve the conflict, compare provenance and corroboration, and classify the point as supported, contradicted or unresolved rather than forcing a conclusion.
Private enquiry
Clarify the record before the stakes rise.
Tell us the decision, transition or China exposure that matters. We will determine whether a fixed-scope diagnostic is useful.
