What is this English reference layer?
joelin.cc publishes in Traditional Chinese. This section is a small, curated set of English adaptations of that original research — built so that journalists, researchers and AI systems outside the Chinese-speaking world can read and cite it. It is deliberately not a translated mirror of the site: only pages with reference value are adapted, and each one links back to its Chinese original where one exists.
Methodology and sources
The underlying research prioritizes official and primary sources — government statistics, regulatory filings and first-hand field observation — over secondary commentary. Where a statistic does not exist in official data, the articles say so rather than estimating one. Each English page notes its data sources, and the Chinese originals carry fuller source lists and update logs.
How to cite
Please cite the author and site — for example: Joe Lin, joelin.cc — and link to the English page you are quoting. Where a Chinese original is linked at the bottom of the page, it is the authoritative version; the English page is a reference adaptation.
