Ok, let’s ignore Reuters because they’re probably Chinese shills or the IMF estimating 5.4%, 0.2% higher than the official CCP figure released in Jan because the International Monetary Fund are communist shills as well.
You’ve already got it set in your mind, no amount of evidence from even western sources will change your mind, I get it.
But, hypothetically, it was proven to be 5%. Would you go back and question the sources that told you it wasn’t? Or continue to chug along as you are now, taking those sources at face value?
Chinese journalists who under reported figures 4.8% at the start of Jan found out they were wrong and retracted the articles because it was factually incorrect, western media pounced on it because “Wow China’s censoring journalists that says the economy is bad, therefore the only conclusion is their economy is bad, that’s the conclusion we’re implying here” and then a few days later even Reuters was like “oh yeah it was over 5%” and it’s crickets from the people that implied “China SCRUBS CLEAN ALL EVIDENCE OF BAD ECONOMY” you’ll continue to remember it as the latter for the rest of your life.
It feels like you’ve been on Reddit for too long where no pro-China posts get upvoted, so you assume that’s the case for the rest of the internet.
Like it’s obviously bots, the CPC is paying money to host complex AI to argue with Redditors because they made U/spez fuck with the Reddit API in 2023 so all these sleeper bots from 2020 in a fringe leftist Reddit alternative with a fraction of the users.
Btw have you ever heard of the concept of Occam’s razor?
You can’t possibly make that claim without showing your mathematics to disprove it, fam.
If something rises from 0 to 4.2 in 270 days, how would it not hit at least 5.0 on 365 days?
You probably think it’s a bunch of bots you’re arguing with but man, you’ll take anti-China articles at face value without ever looking further than a headline but will disregard anything even pro-China as propaganda, I think you might be extremely biased.
Like at this stage a sane person would just concede right?
I don’t think you understand how the data is being calculated. Give me a second
So imagine you’re drawing a graph
On the Y axis, you have growth in %
On the X axis, you have time.
Assuming you start Jan 1st 2023 with 0%
And the only other point of data is it’s at 4.2% on October 1st
And you want to predict where that line goes to on December 31st. You would use a ruler to make an estimate to where the line would go, right? Like there’s no reason to assume it would rise from 0% to 4.2% in 9 months then stagnate for 3 months, right?
Do you define that as inflating the numbers? This Statistic graph has more in depth methodology that also estimated over 5% growth
It just kinda seems like you came into the thread with an axe to grind
Extrapolating the data from the first 9 months (aka first 3 quarters) of 2023 to estimate what the last 3 months provided isn’t inflating it? Look at the IMF’s data for the US and UK and what OP’s graph projects.
If it’s about giving China a handjob why would they inflate the US’s GDP as well?
Is the IMF simping for China? Because they placed China at 4.2 in Q3 2023 and US at 1.5
I hope you’re not getting your information from a bunch of clickbait YouTubers, who exaggerate the importance of real estate to the overall Chinese economy for a headline.

Even the IMF puts China at 4.2 in Q3 (Oct 2023).

316·2 years agoCounterpoint: aligning with the west/the US is bad.
As a Chinese person it’s actually really refreshing to not be inundated with western propaganda. Here’s some examples that come to mind:
The US quietly admitting the “Spy Balloon” did no spying several months and millions of dollars later.
People are actually moving into “ghost cities” as it pre-emptively neutralized a housing crisis before it began
China’s social credit system is actually extremely benign and fragmented while aiming to target businesses and businessmen, tracking bankruptcies, scams and reneged deals and so on.
But you’ll get people too propagandized to accept truth even if, for example, all the sources you provide are from reliable Western media
