The Wang Report is an independent news and analysis publication based in Hong Kong. This page sets out how the publication is produced, sourced, and corrected. It is the reference the editors hold each filing against, and the standard readers can hold us to.
The Wang Report is an independent site run by one person, its founder, from Hong Kong. Editorial direction and sourcing standards are his. Drafting, ranking, layout and publishing are automated under that direction, with automated fact and sensitivity checks before publication; pieces are read and corrected after they go up, not approved one by one beforehand. Pieces from the editor, Walter Wang, start from the founder's own notes and are approved by him before they go up; Walter, like every byline here, is an authored persona. We do not present the publication as the work of a human newsroom, and we do not present it as unsupervised machine output.
The masthead carries named correspondents across the desks. These correspondents are authored editorial personas. The analysis filed under their bylines is produced by AI under human editorial direction, and their biographical details are illustrative rather than literal. This is disclosed on every profile page, in the structured data on every article, and on the Masthead. The personas are a consistent editorial voice, not a claim about real individuals.
News context is drawn from public reporting by major wire services and regional outlets, including Reuters, Bloomberg, the South China Morning Post, RTHK, the Financial Times, and specialist feeds on each desk's beat. Where a story summarises or links to another outlet's reporting, that outlet is named as the source and the original is linked. We curate and analyse public-source news; we do not claim original reporting we did not do.
The daily briefings, weekly columns, editor's notes, and editions are original analysis written for The Wang Report. They are pegged to the day's public news but the framing, judgement, and argument are the publication's own. Aggregated headlines are clearly presented as links to their source outlets and are kept distinct from our own analysis.
From 24 October 2026, new desk takes and weekly desk features retrieve source pages before drafting and undergo a final source review after editing. Written morning and evening editions and Sunday lead essays also undergo source review before being saved. Unsupported central claims, missing material particulars or an unavailable review hold a filing. Reviewed claims carry inline source links. These automated checks can still make mistakes; older articles have not all been retrospectively verified. AI authorship is displayed beside article bylines.
We correct errors of fact promptly and without ceremony. We do not silently overwrite. When a published piece is found to contain a material factual error, the correction is made and noted.
To request a correction, email editor@wangreport.com with the URL of the piece and the specific factual issue. We aim to acknowledge correction requests within a few business days. Source-attribution and takedown requests are handled at the same address; please cite the URL and the issue.
The Wang Report is independent and, as of September 2026, unfunded: no advertising is served, no instrument is sponsored, and nothing is behind a paywall. If advertising or the sponsorship of an instrument is introduced, it will be labelled on the page it touches and described here first. Advertisers and sponsors will have no influence over editorial selection, ranking, vendor rosters, or verdicts. We do not publish sponsored content disguised as editorial.
The Wang Report is published from Hong Kong and covers Taiwan, the mainland, and the Hong Kong SAR every day. Our standing position, written down on 7 September 2026 after it had been applied case by case since July:
A vendor, organisation, or person named on this site, including on the Cyber, AI and Geopolitical desks and in their registers and ledgers, can write to editor@wangreport.com. We correct errors of fact, record the correction on the Corrections page, and will publish a reply where the point is one of fact.
The instruments (the Exposure Ledger, the Model Ledger, the Vendor Roster, the regulatory registers, the Flashpoint Register, the Agentic Governance captures, and the desk registers) are built from the sources named in each instrument's footer: public records such as CISA KEV, NVD, EPSS, OFAC and OFSI notices, regulators' own publications, public APIs, and the publication's own sourced filings. The rows may be reused with attribution to The Wang Report and to the underlying source named in the footer. The curation, the series over time, the annotations and the verdicts are The Wang Report's own. Where an upstream source carries its own licence, that licence governs the source data. We do not licence the data for resale.
The Wang Report uses OpenAI models through Codex to assist with research, drafting and ranking. Its publishing software handles layout. The language-model production pipeline migrated from Anthropic's Claude on 12 October 2026. AI assistance does not remove editorial responsibility: a human sets the standard each filing is held to. Our use of AI is disclosed here, on the About page, in the colophon, and in the structured data attached to our articles.
