Local data forgery does not affect true reliability of national data

Ning Jizhe, director of the National Bureau of Statistics of China, said that since the 1990s, China has implemented grading accounting, and that the National Bureau of Statistics of China accounted for the data of the whole country. The major industries are based on direct online reporting; the agriculture data is based on sample survey, while the service industry data is from the e-administration. At the same time, the local governments' are also according to the method of accounting. Therefore, local data forgery does not affect the true reliability of national data. However, unless the national data do not rely on local data at all, the national data will not be unaffected if fake data is used in the basis.
