Data and alerts

The data behind the footnotes

We are preparing three things for readers who use this site in their own work. None of them is ready yet. Tell us which you would use, and we will write to you when it is.

What we are preparing

i.

The Document 136 dataset

The tracker as a CSV file: one row per provincial region, with its status, its dates and the documents behind it. Every claim keeps its official source, the link, and the original Chinese sentence, word for word. Updated as provinces publish.

The tracker's table has 31 provincial regions and cites 82 official documents, counted from its data as of .

In preparation

ii.

Alerts when a province publishes

An email when a provincial government or regulator publishes a new document on Document 136. Software reads the official websites on a schedule and flags new documents. The editor reads each one and checks the claim against its original sentence before anything is sent.

Each alert gives the claim in English, the original sentence and the official link.

In preparation

iii.

A footnoted briefing, on request

Send us a Chinese energy or climate policy document, or a question about one. We write a short English briefing in which every claim is footnoted to its original sentence and the official link, the same way this site is.

The editor writes these by hand, so we take only a few at a time.

In preparation

What a row holds

One claim from the tracker as it stands today, with everything the dataset keeps beside it.

Where this stands

Nothing here is for sale yet, and there are no prices. We are asking first, so that we build what readers will actually use.

If you leave your email, we write to you when something you ticked is ready, and about nothing else. It is not a newsletter.

Ask to hear first

Thank you. You are on the list for what you ticked, and we will write when it is ready.

That did not go through. Please check the email address and send it again.

We have had several requests from you in a short time. Please try again later.

Something went wrong on our side, and your request was not saved. Please try again later, or email [email protected].

What would you use?

For example, the provinces you follow, or the document you want explained.

We use your email only to write to you about what you ticked. It is kept by the editor, not by a mailing-list service, and we do not share it. To be removed, email [email protected].
