PRIMARY SOURCES FIRST
Statistical releases, central-bank communication, customs data, regulator notices, and filings anchor the work.
ABOUT SINOLEDGER / EDITORIAL STANDARD
CONTEXT BEFORE
CONFIDENCE.
SinoLedger creates ready-to-record podcast scripts about China’s economy for international creators, editorial teams, and specialist publishers.
Our job is not to make every release sound dramatic. It is to turn the evidence into a clear, traceable script written for natural delivery.
CHINA COVERAGE OFTEN HAS TOO MUCH CERTAINTY AND TOO LITTLE STRUCTURE.
Economic releases arrive with different definitions, time periods, revisions, seasonal effects, and institutional incentives. Headlines compress those differences. SinoLedger rebuilds the chain: what was released, what changed, how it relates to other evidence, where uncertainty remains, and what to watch next.
THE EDITORIAL STANDARD
FIVE RULES THAT SHAPE EVERY ISSUE.
LABEL THE EVIDENCE
Official data, revisions, independent estimates, and editorial interpretation remain visibly distinct.
COMPARE LIKE WITH LIKE
Periods, units, seasonal adjustments, base effects, and definitions are checked before comparison.
SHOW THE UNCERTAINTY
A missing series, conflicting indicator, or provisional figure is part of the story — not something to hide.
MAKE IT USABLE
The final delivery is written for speech and supported by show notes, sources, charts, images, and visual assets.
SOURCE DESK / WEEKLY
HOW SOURCES ARE HANDLED
A CLAIM SHOULD LEAD BACK TO ITS EVIDENCE.
Each issue includes a source ledger with publication dates, direct links, the role of each source, and notes on relevant revisions. When a statement is interpretation rather than a reported fact, the writing makes that distinction clear.
- Official releases retain their original date and comparison period.
- Later revisions are recorded rather than silently replacing earlier values.
- Outside estimates are attributed and kept separate from official statistics.
- Charts identify the underlying series and transformation used.
