Editorial policy

BAO aims to provide clear, restrained and source-based analysis of regional conditions.

Source standard

A material conclusion requires at least two independent sources. Yellow, orange or red classification requires an official source; high-risk stories receive a separate verification pass.

Labelling

Every article displays risk, verification and confidence labels. Fact, interpretation and rumour must be clearly separated.

Independence

Advertising, partnerships or commercial interests may not alter the risk assessment. Responsible publisher: MB Bao Group.
