Description
An AI research tool that answers questions, in English or other languages, from Chinese-language sources and cites the original passages, with an English rendering on request. The corpus holds about ten million documents and is continuously updated: some six million central to county-level government policy documents, over four million full-text articles from core social-science journals, and about 9,500 Party-history volumes, local gazetteers, and archive collections. A corpus search offers author, journal or issuer, document type, and year filters with BibTeX and RIS export, and a catalog covers over ten thousand datasets and a bibliographic index of over 100 million books and articles; the tool can also search English-language scholarship live. An account is required, with a free allowance and paid plans, and the operator offers institutional licenses and API access; answers are generated by language models and should be checked against the cited originals.
