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.
