Is China deliberately working this hard to portray their economic data as deceptive, or that just an unintended consequence?
What a joke.
I had someone in the comments ask (rhetorically) what would be the point of falsifying economic data? Here’s your answer. Its all about the politics, getting the results that the bosses want, and not questioning them. And now it looks like China is getting rid of the people who know where the bodies are buried.
