Chinese Companies Forced to Falsify Data, Government Says

[FairAndUnbiased]

chinese govt is manipulative. No one believe on china claim as there is no independent source to verify it.

you're right. our real GDP is actually undercounted by 20%.

Extrapolating from the previous sniffs of Chinese students I suspect they'd say this is a "Shanxi" issue, not a "China" one.

No shame in that. Where 7-Eleven exists, there you find civilization. What would life be like without Slurpees or the ability to pick up a quart of motor oil in the middle of the night?

We don't have one 7/11 in Germany, France, Italy or Switzerland and yet our lifestyle by far more sophisticated than the US by miles.

Then what are all the western credit rating agency, multi-national market research firms and investment banks and funds doing in China. must be the world's easiest job if they verify nothing.

I find great beer and wine are good northern European substitutes for Slurpees. Still haven't figured out what to do about getting motor oil in the middle of the night, have you?
