    Factwire: China GDP numbers..

    Not dived into this... Who knows... But 2020 and all that...


    The differences caused by each year’s revisions are magnified by accumulating data across multiple years. FactWire calculated two different versions of cumulative growth from 2011 to 2019, by using sets of data from the NBS. One set of data was calculated from the unrevised amounts of 2011 and 2019, and the other set of data used the growth rates based on revised data from the previous year. Both sets of data – the unrevised amount and the growth rate based on revised data – were obtained from the official NBS notices.

    Reminds me of this one:

    For instance, the real total fertility rate in 2000 was 1.22, according to a census result, but the government revised it to 1.8. Accordingly, the country had 14.1 million new births in 2000, but the government revised the figure by 26 per cent to 17.7 million. A census, which is conducted every 10 years, should provide the truest picture of China’s demographic situation. But for the 2000 census, the government was unhappy about the original finding of 1.24 billion and revised it up to 1.27 billion.
    They can't even consistently make up the numbers.

    There are millions more Chinese than the official number.

    So then a +/- margin of error of .0000003%?
