How can ChinaAnlaysis.com
help gather accurate and timely
information about China?
Many analysts
and scholars conclude that
no single source can provide
accurate and timely information
about China. ChinaAnalysis.com
concurs with this view. Data
about China is extremely fragmented
and unreliable, even on an
official government website.
The best process of obtaining
accurate and timely information
about China, we believe, consists
of three steps: identify good
data, cross check multiple
sources, and most importantly,
network
with Peers.
Therefore,
ChinaAnalysis.com is designed
to facilitate this process.
The system has built-in intelligence
to automatically learn and
leverage the knowledge from
you and other users. For example,
if many users are consistently
clicking the same link for
environmental data about China,
the system will know about
it and thus adjust its category
and rating accordingly. Also,
our team of subject matter
experts will closely watch
the system and ensure it works
properly. However, regardless
of how advanced the technology,
it is you who own the process:
you cross check multiple sources
suggested by the system or
by your peers, rate them and
review them, and actively
share your knowledge, tips,
and best practices with your
peers. In short, you no longer
rely only on yourself for
data gathering about China.
Now you can leverage the broad
knowledge and collective power
of the whole user community
to achieve your research and
analysis goals.

How is ChinaAnalysis.com different
from other web sites that
provide information about
China?
ChinaAnalysis.com
does not compete with the
great variety of existing
websites that provide information
about China. Rather, it is
designed to leverage these
vast, valuable, but extremely
fragmented resources. Our
mission is to assist the community
of foreign policy makers,
scholars, and analysts to
quickly identify reliable
sources of information on
the web, cross check their
quality, and enable knowledge
sharing among this loosely
connected community.

What kinds of websites will
or will not be included by
ChinaAnalysis.com?
In general,
ChinaAnalysis.com only includes
websites that contain data
and information that directly
supports serious research
and analysis of China-related
topics. Our primary users
are policy makers, scholars,
analysts, students, and other
data users engaged in analytical
work on China. We do not intend
to provide direct links to
all China-related websites
that are targeted at general
public or consumers, such
as websites of individual
manufacturers or service providers.
