Definitional claim — not factually verifiable by design. The selection of ~34 companies as "major non-China" is Ball's analytical choice. Consistency analysis (definitional-consistency.yaml) identifies scope leakage: dependent claim c110 drops the "non-China" qualifier, and c081 mixes the non-China scope (publishers) with global scope (revenue). Sensitivity: Including Tencent/NetEase would weaken the "Troubled Industry" thesis significantly.
