How these stories are made
Two research desks find each story: one reads Canadian archives, museums and government records, the other Chinese and Taiwanese ones. Every source is quoted, and code confirms each quotation on the source's own page before anything is written. One AI model then writes the story and a model from a different company checks it, sentence by sentence, against those sources. Report an error to hello@mychina.ca; corrections are shown on the story.
