Just One Child (2008)'s Table 1 affiliates Liang Zhongtang with the Shanxi Party School, matching her 2005 article rather than her 2003 article's 'Academy of Social Sciences'

The vault's two existing claim-notes on Greenhalgh's pre-2008 naming of Liang Zhongtang disagree on his institutional affiliation: [[claim-greenhalgh-2003-pdr-article-independently-names-liang-zhongtang|the 2003 Population and Development Review article]] calls him "Liang Zhongtang of the Shanxi Provincial Academy of Social Sciences," while [[claim-greenhalgh-2005-quote-names-liang-zhongtang-as-outspoken-critic|the 2005 China Quarterly article]] calls him "Liang Zhongtang of the Shanxi provincial Party school." Table 1 of [[entity-just-one-child-greenhalgh-2008|Just One Child]] (2008) places him under "Shanxi Party School" — matching the 2005 article's affiliation, not the 2003 article's.

This is a historical/biographical-detail claim, resting on a Tier 1 primary read of all three texts (the two articles already audited in the vault's existing claim-notes, the book read this session), so it clears the sourcing floor for this claim type without qualification. It suggests the book's version of this detail is continuous with, and most likely drawn from, the later (2005) article's account specifically, rather than an independent third determination of Liang's institutional home — though "most likely drawn from" is a reading of pattern, not a traced citation; Greenhalgh's own text in the Introduction does not cite which of her earlier pieces Table 1 draws its affiliations from.
