Neat. Tho I wonder if those numbers are all just self reported, or have been independently verified.
After all, history has shown us that China, like most nations, tends to overinflate the good news to overshadow the bad, so as to keep themselves looking “good” to the people of the rest of the world.
I have never seen these numbers disputed even in western media. If you’re suggesting these numbers are in question then do provide sources to substantiate this fantastical claim of yours.
This is a frustrating approach you’ve taken here. If you were just going to conclude that you can’t trust the data anyway, why bother asking all these questions? You just kept moving the goalposts and then when you finally couldn’t move them anymore, “well, it’s just fake then”. Sounds really familiar 🤔
It’s harder for governments in nations with a free press, but it still happens.
I’m not sure which ones don’t, tbh. I am giving the benefit of the doubt that there are, indeed a few governments that actually never lie to their people. I can’t think of any of the top of my head, though.
Politicians lie. Politicians are what make up a government. Ergo, governments lie.
Quite honestly, the best way to get to the real numbers of any situation is to aggregate the data from many different sources and compare them.
Together renewables comprised 43% of total capacity in China. So, 43% of per capita consumption is backed by renewable energy.

Oh, no. Heaven forbid. We should always accept whatever the government tells us at face value.

First off, I didn’t move shit. I was honestly curious about the fucking data, and it’s source.
If only there were other numerous sources you could look up with a quick google in the time it’s taken you to make a clown of yourself here. If only!
I’m not the one accusing someone of shit just because I’m a fucking data nerd, jackass.
A data nerd would’ve actually looked up the data instead of clowning around here. It’s not exactly hard to find. You’re just a dweeb.
Which nations do not do this and how overinflated are most nations’ statistics?
