SIX-COMPONENT MODEL

Current component scores

Component values run from −100 to +100 and are combined with the published weights.

Security0

No reviewed evidence met this component’s scoring threshold.

Why this score?

The model starts every component at zero. No documented condition or active event currently changes this one.

Coverage gap: The reviewed official record does not establish a frozen mutual-defence or exceptional-security rule.

Economic+15

3 documented factors produce the +15 economic assessment.

Why this score?
  1. +15Institutional economic cooperation
    Baseline rule · 2015

    The official bilateral record supports the frozen institutional economic cooperation criterion for China and Belgium in 2015.

  2. +20Bilateral trade threshold
    Baseline rule · 2015

    Reported trade activates the absolute methodology route using the latest observation available for this year.

  3. -20Annual methodology 1.1 recalculation
    Annual recalculation · 2026

    The current component replaces the 2015 quantitative threshold or time-bounded structural package with the evidence applicable in the selected year.

CHANGE SINCE 2015

+17 in 2015 → +14 in 2026

The change is generated from sourced events and frozen scoring rules, not retrospective editorial adjustment.

ACTIVE EVIDENCE

Events affecting the current score

No later scored event is active. The current result remains anchored to the reviewed 2015 baseline and quantitative series.

Interpret with care

This analytical score is not an objective fact, endorsement or prediction. Confidence reflects evidence coverage, while incomplete or unavailable observations remain explicit. Differences below 5 points are treated as practical ties rather than a meaningful ranking.
