How to attribute subject country to a news article with multiple countries listed

For news articles that come from MRN Eikon Elektron, that don't involve companies "general news" there is often more than one country listed as a subject code. Is there a way to disambiguate which country is the main one?

For example, if there is a news article about actions the Chinese government is taking about Chinese import tariffs from America - both China and USA will be listed - but we'd like our machines to know that China is the subject.

Thanks so much,

-- Jonathan

The topic code metadata is not weighted or priority ranked, so there is no way to use topic codes to determine relevance amongst present country codes.
