Those are some nice metrics you have there. Shame if something were to...happen...to them... You simply cannot trust Chinese government statistics at face value. Every level of government lies to make itself look better, because they are not accountable to the people but instead to punitive development goals that could have moderately successful bureaucrats uprooted and replaced in a nanosecond if they fall short anywhere. China is the Titanic of nations: huge, ostentatious, and easier to snap than it looks.
