Essential signal, minimal noise

WireScreen offers comprehensive coverage of China’s most strategic sectors, without the noise that typically comes with it. Our entity resolution technology turns records from over 50 primary sources – including corporate records, government documents, financial exchange data, and millions of commercial transactions – into a structured, searchable network of more than 14 million organizations and over 25 million executives, investors, and stakeholders.

Identify hidden risks and relationships

From hiding military connections to evading sanctions and trade controls, businesses in China have plenty of reasons to obfuscate their activities. WireScreen counters the most common tactics by automatically passing on risk classifications to subsidiaries, joint ventures, and new companies with similar investments or executive personnel, and making them easy to find.
