WireScreen and Senzing partner to surface hidden risk and China exposure in complex ownership structures. NEW YORK and LAS VEGAS - March 31, 2026 - WireScreen, a leading provider of China-focused risk intelligence, and Senzing, a pioneer in real-time entity resolution, today announced a strategic partnership to help governments, financial institutions, and enterprises uncover hidden ownership, state influence, and sanctions exposure across complex China-linked corporate networks. The partnership combines WireScreen's intelligence on Chinese corporate ownership and influence structures with Senzing(R) entity resolution technology to connect fragmented records, match entities across languages, and uncover indirect relationships that traditional screening tools often miss. Addressing the structural challenge of china-related risk. China-related risk is structurally different from that in most other jurisdictions. Corporate ownership is frequently obscured through nominee arrangements, layered shell companies, and informal affiliations with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that rarely appear in official registries. These challenges are compounded by inconsistent name transliterations and the use of native-script records across datasets. As a result, many organizations face a persistent "data gap" that makes it difficult to identify sanctioned entities, detect indirect ownership, or trace state-linked influence across complex corporate structures. Improving risk workflows. Risk workflows often slow down when identity resolution becomes a manual process. Analysts spend significant time reconciling names, verifying identifiers, and rebuilding ownership context across fragmented data sources. By combining authoritative intelligence with explainable entity resolution, organizations can reduce false positives, accelerate onboarding and due diligence, and gain clearer visibility into hidden ownership structures and risk signals. Purpose-Built China risk intelligence, unified by entity resolution. WireScreen's platform maps the multilayered networks behind Chinese corporations, including ultimate beneficial ownership, state and Party influence, Military-Civil Fusion (MCF) links, global investment networks, sanctions exposure, and key personnel relationships. The platform applies more than 100 risk indicators to surface concealed affiliations and systemic risk across China-linked entities. Senzing complements this intelligence with a best-in-class entity resolution engine designed to determine who is who and who is related to whom across fragmented and inconsistent datasets. The technology resolves duplicate records, corrects false splits, and generates explainable relationship linkages that analysts can easily validate. Together, the integrated solution allows organizations to connect internal and third-party records using trusted legal names, registration identifiers, and ownership context - even when records vary across languages, scripts, and formats. The result is faster due diligence, improved cross-language matching, and stronger visibility into ownership and influence networks. Leadership perspectives. "In China's corporate ecosystem, the biggest risks rarely appear in plain sight - they're buried under layers of shell companies, transliteration gaps, and informal state ties," said David Barboza, CEO and Founder of WireScreen. "By combining WireScreen's intelligence with Senzing(R) entity resolution, we're giving organizations the connective tissue they need to see those hidden networks and make confident decisions." "Our goal is to help organizations turn trusted external intelligence into connected insight inside their own environments," said Dr. Gurpinder Dhillon, Head of Data & AI Strategy & Ecosystem at Senzing. "WireScreen's China expertise combined with Senzing(R) entity resolution engine gives customers a practical way to identify hidden ownership and indirect exposure across complex global structures."

NEW YORK, March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Wire China today announced the publication of Broken Engagement: Interviews with those who have made — and remade — the U.S.'s policy towards China , a new e-book featuring a collection of in-depth Q&A interviews conducted by Bob Davis, a distinguished former journalist at The Wall Street Journal.Between 2022 and 2024, Davis interviewed some of America's most influential policymakers, diplomats, and experts to examine how the U.S.-China relationship has evolved over the past six presidential administrations. Through candid conversations with figures such as Robert Lighthizer, Kurt Campbell, Charlene Barshefsky, Matt Pottinger, Nancy Pelosi, Robert Rubin, Ash Carter and Robert Gates, Broken Engagement explores the key decisions that shaped U.S. policy on trade, security, human rights, and diplomacy—and how perspectives on engagement with China have shifted over time.Davis, who covered China and international trade for The Wall Street Journal for decades, brings deep historical context to these discussions. Having reported on the Asian financial crisis, China's WTO accession, and the U.S.-China trade war, he revisits these events through the eyes of the officials who lived through them—providing invaluable insight into the successes, missteps, and ongoing challenges of U.S. policy toward China."Broken Engagement is a genuine marvel — sober, sharp, a joy to read, and rich with revelations on how the United States has wrestled with China for forty years," says Evan Osnos, author of Age of Ambition and a National Book Award winner. "With a reporter's eye, and a deep grounding in economics, Bob Davis poses the essential questions: do we isolate or engage, push for change or settle for stability, root for China's success or hedge against it?""The result is an indispensable guide to the real-world choices that have shaped the world's most important relationship — and the ones still ahead."The interviews in Broken Engagement: Interviews with those who have made — and remade — the U.S.'s policy towards China, were edited by Andrew Peaple, a former Wall Street Journal reporter and now news editor at The Wire China, ensuring a sharp and engaging narrative that provides readers with a comprehensive view of the shifting dynamics between the U.S
