Stability Score?How the stability score is computedA weighted composite of seven pillars— conflict intensity, event volatility, arms activity, economic health, market stress, sanctions exposure, and humanitarian proxy. Each pillar is scored 0–100 (higher = healthier). The composite is weighted (conflict 25%, economy 20%, events 15%, the rest 10% each) and recomputed daily from strategic events, World Bank indicators, arms-transfer data, and sanctions records.
Daily intelligence brief is generated for the highest-activity countries. China becomes eligible as dispatch volume climbs.
Linked Bayesian threats?Linked threatsBayesian-tracked threats from the system threat board where China is involved. Each threat shows its current posterior probability and the 7-day move (in percentage points). Click any card for the full threat detail page.

This profile draws from four data tiers. Baseline facts (geography, languages, religion) are from the CIA World Factbook snapshot of January 2026 — the final snapshot before the website was retired. Economic indicators refresh daily from the World Bank. Events, conflicts, dispatches, and entity mentions flow continuously from our continuous intelligence graph — sources come online as we add them. Intelligence briefs are generated daily under ICD 203 analytic-tradecraft standards.
Coverage of China will sharpen as we add local-language sources. Every field above carries a provenance chip so you can judge freshness for yourself.
