15 industry starting points

What remains before a China policy check

Each source still needs an operative version pin, Chinese-text review, sector and activity rules, local and product overlays, reusable document wording, and tested report behavior. No China sector source is an enabled assessment pack. A document type match means only that the uploaded heading suggests the same broad document family. This is not legal advice.
