It’s true that Chinese government statistics are unreliable, but unlike the Soviets, they tend to be underestimating rather than overestimating.

I'd be shocked if that were the case.

There’s a reason why the Soviet Union has collapsed and China is still around. The economic growth in China is very much real and tangible, it’s not just a statistical maneuver. You don’t even need to travel to China to see it.
