No it isnt
Our numbers have real data behind it. China puts out whatever it wants. It counts its ghost cities. It makes crap up
China makes almost everything, in every store, in America.
For real.
FWIW, I work at a large multi-national bank that most people have never even heard of. Our bank's economist who is a well respected former member of the Federal Reserve says the exact same thing: China's manipulating the numbers and there is no credibility whatsoever in what they're saying their growth rate is. There never has been.
Anything China says, especially when it comes to economic matters must be taken with a huge grain of salt.
