China, EU and United States side by side
15 pointers between the Chinese register and the EU and US registers. A pointer says the two texts cover the same ground, never that they say the same thing.
- Each row names the Chinese rule, the nearest EU act and the nearest US rule, with the reason written out.
- A missing pointer means the register holds no counterpart, not that no requirement exists.
