摘要：

This paper argues that official Chinese statistics contain major exaggerations of real output growth beginning in 1998. The standard data contain numerous inconsistencies. Chinese commentaries castigate widespread falsification at lower levels and question the authenticity of figures emanating from the central statistical authorities. The author speculates that cumulative GDP growth during 1997/2001 was no more than one-third of official claims, and possibly much smaller. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
