Articles published on GlobalTimesOnline are subject to our editorial standards. Where practical, claims are checked against trusted primary sources and credible secondary references before publication. Where a story develops after publication, we issue corrections or updates clearly marked on the article.

While we strive for accuracy, no publication is infallible — including material that is human-written, AI-assisted, or AI-generated. If you believe an article contains an error, please contact our editorial team at sales@oneorb.ai. We take corrections seriously and respond promptly.
