i may be out of touch, but do the chinese manufacturing numbers being bandied about make any sense. on the BBC yesterday teh lead story was that chinas manufacturing was up. the 3rd story down was how one county was being accused of falsifying its pigures and went on to explain how for teh comunist cadres its a promotional opportunity to make up better than expected figures http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-24012224

would be safe to assume that if one county is doing it then others are too.
what is the consensus on this massive turnaround in chinas data??
