No flags found across the chain (BIS Entity List, designation-cascade closures, or compute-threshold reporting obligations) as of 2026-05-16. Cascade closures evaluated: 0.
No ownership-change events documented in the available data for any entity in this chain over the last 5 years. Events draw from PitchBook deal records (M&A, buyout, divestiture, asset sale, JV formation); PitchBook coverage is strongest for private US/EU transactions and partial for state-owned-enterprise restructurings or non-Western private deals. Subsequent ingestion runs may add events here.
No documented sovereign or state-linked LP investment touches any entity in this chain. PitchBook LP-disclosure rate is partial; absence of evidence here is not evidence of absence.
The walk for GDS CS-1 Changshustarts at the operator org id (or owner org id when no operator is recorded) and climbs upward through the unified affiliate graph, normalized to trace child-to-parent relationships. At each hop, the highest-authority parent edge wins (priority ordering: SEC EDGAR / 10-K / LEI registry > FactSet Workstation / Revere > Compustat > BIS / Federal Register > PitchBook). Confidence and recency break ties.
The walk terminates on (a) a node with a public-filing-grade ancestor edge — a SEC filer, an LEI-registered listed entity, or a 10-K-disclosed parent — (b) a government entity, (c) a 10-hop limit, or (d) a detected cycle. When termination is not at a public filer or government, the panel labels the chain's end-state as opaque beyond that point. Opacity is reported, never implied.
Per-source confidence (PitchBook): HIGH for Parent / Subsidiary edges; MEDIUM for JV and AFFILIATE edges. Known limitations: (1) shell companies with undisclosed principals terminate the public-record walk; (2) recent transactions reach the panel after PitchBook's weekly refresh; (3) cross-jurisdiction private holding structures may carry intermediate hops that are not in any ingested source. Each row carries an edge-level as of date so freshness is auditable per hop.
Two further caveats are inherent to how the walker and the underlying data compose. The walker selects a single highest-authority parent per hop, so JV or multi-parent ownership structures collapse to one displayed path; alternate parents exist in the ingested sources but are not surfaced on this card. And some PitchBook edges encode parent-of relations against entity-resolved stub IDs whose display name reflects a sub-entity (a business unit, an acquired-then-renamed line) rather than the canonical parent — when a chain reads structurally surprising, the per-row source citation is the authoritative reference, not the chain's narrative shape.
Computed at: 2026-05-16. Walk depth observed: 2 hops. Sources combined: Scrutica facility record + PitchBook affiliate graph + SEC CIK cross-reference + LEI registry + (where applicable) FactSet Revere supply-chain graph + Federal Register designation closures.
