CDT collects directives from a variety of sources and checks them against official Chinese media reports to confirm their implementation.

Since directives are sometimes communicated orally to journalists and editors, who then leak them online, the wording published here may not be exact. The original publication date on CDT Chinese is noted after the directives; the date given may indicate when the directive was leaked, rather than when it was issued. CDT does its utmost to verify dates and wording, but also takes precautions to protect the source.

WAR IS PEACE • FREEDOM IS SLAVERY • IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Sources such as this forum post [zh] do not specify the country with which China would construct the headquarters. Back.

This likely refers to Yantai Beifang Zhiyao. The directives does not mention the third company in question. Back.
