Meridian Database

Overview

In a time of escalating geopolitical tensions, some of the most important stories are being lost in the artificial noise: the reality of deep, ongoing collaboration between the world's two largest powers. Thousands of scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, trade experts, and more, are working on problems that don't care about flags. Meridian's hope is to act as a counterweight to the artificial geopolitical noise by showing the reality of collaboration between some of the most important US and Chinese companies, businesses, organizations, universities, and even government agencies.

Indexes

Meridian, as of June 2026, features three different indexes of data, listed below:

• A Partnership Index: showcasing direct partnerships or joint-ventures between US-based and Chinese-based entities.
• A Research Index: showcasing meaningfully important scientific research papers published/co-authored either directly by a US-China joint-venture or more indirectly as a result of US-China collaboration.
• A Regulatory Index: a database of important laws and regulations on both the American side and Chinese side governing business and trade between the two countries.
