How this page is generated
The whole page is derived from src/data/facts.ts: group order follows the data file, and figures, dates and sources are never retyped by hand. Each figure also carries JSON-LD (Dataset + PropertyValue), so a search engine sees a measured value with a source and a date rather than loose text.
What is not covered is stated on the coverage page(Chinese). 196 figures have no English note yet; those pages say so plainly rather than leaving a blank.
