Comment on China Tries To Censor Data About Nearly 1 Billion People in Poverty
feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 10 months agoI checked, it was alleviation of extreme poverty and the success was historically unprecedented in such a short period of time. But that leaves regular poverty, which still isn’t great.

There’s not a single statistic that comes out of the chinese government that’s accurate by any measure.
For reference on their economic numbers versus reality: www.moneymacro.rocks/2022-10-27-china-smaller/ Macro economics professor’s report on the matter and the CCP accidentally admitting the fact they doctor all their statistics: reuters.com/…/us-china-economy-wikileaks-idUSTRE6… as well as an in depth research report on their reported GDP versus country-wide activity bfi.uchicago.edu/wp-content/…/BFI_WP_2021-78.pdf
China’s GDP is at LEAST 60% smaller than they’ve reported. They’re still the second largest economy but by no means are they ANYWHERE near the USA in economic growth, stability or reliability.

Sure, but what I’m referring to is pretty well established. I’m not talking about anything particularly recent.
