Weekly civic intelligence report · v2.2
China accused the US of fabricating or misrepresenting trade negotiations, suggesting confusion or miscommunication in bilateral trade discussions. This represents diplomatic tension over trade policy messaging.
This event involves China accusing the US of misrepresenting trade negotiations - a diplomatic messaging dispute between two sovereign nations. A-score is 0 because this has zero impact on US constitutional structures: no election interference, no rule of law degradation, no separation of powers issues, no civil rights impacts, no institutional capture, no corruption, and no violence. The 'unknown' mechanism combined with lack of any constitutional driver engagement confirms no measurable constitutional damage. B-score is minimal (5.37) - moderate media friendliness for US-China tension stories, low outrage potential, minimal meme-ability. This is routine diplomatic friction over messaging, not substantive policy action. The event represents standard international posturing with no domestic constitutional implications.
IGNORE - Foreign diplomatic accusation with zero US constitutional impact. Standard bilateral messaging dispute that does not affect domestic governance structures, rights, or democratic processes. No monitoring required unless tied to specific domestic policy actions with constitutional mechanisms.
