Overview
36kr adds Chinese-language technology and business coverage through the public search results page, with strong value for startup funding updates, product launches, sector analysis, and broader tech-industry reporting that often surfaces earlier in Chinese media than on English aggregators.
Known Quirks
- The search page is a SPA with server-rendered snippets only, so this channel returns SERP metadata rather than full article bodies.
- The visible HTML layout is scraped directly and may be volatile.
- If the search endpoint or SSR markup changes, the channel logs a warning and returns an empty result set.
Quality Bar
- Evidence items have non-empty title and url.
- No crash on empty or malformed API response.
- Source channel field matches the channel name.
