Tested on: https://preview.brookings.edu/articles/unpacking-the-chinese-readouts-of-blinkens-meetings-in-beijing/

Use case: Clicked on the "Experts" navigation option at the top left from this page.

Status: Looking good, seeing the data layer push and tag fire in GTM. Not seeing the project, subtype, or template variables populate though. @jmoconn is that expected for this article?

[jmoconn]

For this particular article, that looks correct!
