How to Cite

This site publishes English briefs and daily digests built from Chinese-language institutional research on China A-shares and Hong Kong stocks. Everything here is free to quote and reference, with attribution. This page gives the exact strings to use.

Cite the brief, not the homepage

Each brief has its own URL and a fixed headline. A citation that points at the homepage does not tell a reader which note you meant, and it does not survive the archive moving on. Use the brief URL, and keep the date — the same note re-published later is a different page.

Where a brief names the original research house, that institution is the source of the argument and we are only the translation. Cite it as well: we do not claim ownership of any source material.

Reuse and licence

• Quoting a brief, or a passage from it, with attribution and a link back to the brief URL: allowed, no permission needed.
• Using the public datasets served under /data, in whole or in part, for commercial or non-commercial work: allowed, with attribution to InsightIntoChina.
• Reproducing the paywalled fields of a PRO brief — key numbers, hidden logic, risk analysis, the full translation — as a substitute for a subscription: not allowed.
• Presenting a brief as your own original research, or attributing our translation to the source research house: not allowed.
• Any use that implies our endorsement of a product, a position or a trade: not allowed.

There is no registration, no API key and no rate limit page for the public data. If a machine can reach it, it is meant to be read — see the data catalog.

What a brief is not

A brief is a machine-generated translation and summary of a source note, labelled with a confidence level. It is not original research, not a recommendation and not investment advice, and it is not verified by a human before publication. When you quote one, quote it as exactly that.

Corrections

If a brief is wrong, or if you hold rights to a source note and want it removed, write to [email protected] with the URL. We would rather correct or remove a page than leave something wrong standing. The methodology page documents how briefs and market data are produced.
