DrStool Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have to wonder why the Chinese even bother to publish data. I guess "investors" require it, even though they know it's a sham.

Jetlag Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 They can put out any data that they want. Gov't isn't accountable to anyone at all. I believe they're probably understating inflation, so real growth might be below 8%. But same is probably true for any other country in the World.

There is a difference, even though the press here is generally weak kneed an enterprising soul can accumulate data and publish it online to refute data put out by the government. This isn't true for over there, the press and internet are severely controlled. Even twitter is inaccessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"However, the growth rate in electricity output and on-grid volume was much lower than in the same period last year, which stood at 28.16 percent and 28.77 percent respectively. Actually, the sharp slide in social electricity consumption growth in January-February foreshadowed the slower growth of electricity output of power generators in the first quarter of 2012.
