How reliable do you think these reports are? Given the limitations on the Chinese press, accurate information is hard to come by, and rumors can spread wildly, unchecked by facts. Do you think the numbers could be exaggerated?

Reliable. The Sun is usually reliable. World Journal, the US based off shoot of Taiwan's United Daily News is very reliable and if they pick it up it is worth taking note.

The Sun and its' sister publication, the Oriental Daily News are interesting. They are mainly gossip rags. But they have news which mainly toes the ChiCom worldview. And it is usually accurate. The ChiComs do not block these sites. I think the Sun and ODN are used by China to present news they won't allow published in mainland newspapers.
