The Chinese Communist Party recently released the seventh population census data, which has drawn public criticism due to the many flaws in key data. The picture
The Communist Party of China (CPC) has released data from its seventh census, which has been questioned by public opinion because of the many flaws in the key data. 17 June, the CPC announced a revision of the data: the number of births in the two census years will increase by about 1 million each year. The Chinese Communist Party has been questioned by outsiders as making up for the flawed census data, fearing that the more it is made up, the bigger the hole will become.
The census data released by the Chinese Communist Party recently showed that the actual number of births in China over the past 10 years was much higher than the previous statistics. This claim has been widely questioned by the outside world.
On May 17, Fu Linghui, spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics of the Communist Party of China, said at a conference held at the State Information Office that the discrepancy between the released census data and the data released in previous years mainly came from the fact that the caliber of the two data was different.
He declared that the population data of non-census years are projected from sample surveys, so there are survey and sampling errors. The census year population data is obtained from a comprehensive survey and the data is more comprehensive and accurate.
He said the NBS will revise the data related to total population, births, urbanization rate, etc. between the two censuses. For example, in 2016, the original published number of births was 17.86 million, which was revised to 18.83 million, an increase of 0.97 million; in 2017, the original published data on births was 17.23 million, which was revised to 17.65 million, an increase of 0.42 million.
Fu Linghui said that the birth population in the relevant years corresponding to the two censuses should be revised to increase by about 1 million people each year on average.
Census data is full of holes
Outsiders have questioned that the Chinese government is making up for the flawed census data, but the more it is made up, the bigger the holes become.
The seventh census of the Chinese Communist Party was completed in early December last year. The National Bureau of Statistics said in March that it would release the resultant population data in early April, but on April 16, it announced that the release would be delayed on the grounds that “more and more detailed information will be provided.
On April 29, the CPC Bureau of Statistics released the news that China’s population would continue to grow in 2020, but no data was provided until May 11, when the National Bureau of Statistics announced the results of the 7th national census, which stood at 1.411 billion. Of these, 253.38 million people, or 17.95 percent, are aged 0-14. 264.02 million people, or 18.70 percent, are aged 60 and older.
Speaking to the Epoch Times, veteran Hong Kong media personality Cai Yongmei said that the Chinese Communist government has a black box operation, and the figures can be announced immediately when they are counted, so why is it shy to keep them unannounced and have an internal adjustment.
She said, “Frankly speaking, people don’t trust the data of the Chinese Communist government, because it is reported by the local governments below. Therefore, it has been a feature of the CCP system that CCP officials misrepresent data. From the Mao era, the Great Leap Forward has been such a tradition, the political achievements are beautiful, the data must be falsified.”
She cited poverty alleviation as an example, saying that some truth has now been reported about the CCP’s announcement some time ago that all people would be lifted out of poverty. It is now highly suspected that the CCP data is falsified, but there is no way to go to an independent investigation to disprove it. Because of all the places in China, there is no way for people to investigate independently, the media cannot question it, and scholars are not allowed to question it.
14.61 million more “ghost” elderly people in the census
China’s self-published “Data Collection Service” has also revealed that the CCP’s statistics are inconsistent and full of loopholes, and that birth and death figures are also controversial, especially in the wake of last year’s epidemic, when the new population suddenly increased by 1.5 times compared to 2019; the population aged 65 also jumped by 60%, with 14.61 million more “ghost” elderly people. The “ghost” elderly.
The report described the figures released by the Chinese Communist Party as “staggering” and “dazzling” and “totally contrary to the laws of population growth trends. For example, the country’s new population fell below 10 million in 2000, continued to fall to 6.41 million in 2010, and was down to 4.67 million in 2019, but in 2020, after the epidemic, the new population grew by an unconscionable 15.12 percent.
The census has 10 million more newborns
The Nikkei News analyzed that according to the statistics bureau of the Communist Party of China, the number of children aged 0 to 14 will total 255.38 million in 2020, and the total number of newborns from 2006 to 2020 will be about 239 million, a difference of more than 5% between these two figures. This means that the census “misrepresented the number of children aged 0-14 by more than 14 million”.
Some netizens also found that the census data subtracted the number of newborns from 2007 to 2019 from the total number of 0-14-year-olds, giving the number of newborns in 2020 at 42.34 million.
And a report released by the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Public Security on February 8 said that a total of 10,035,000 newborns will register with public security organs for household registration in 2020, which equates to more than 30 million extra newborns in 2020 out of thin air.
Ning Jizhe, deputy head of the Seventh National Census Leading Group of the State Council of the Communist Party of China and head of the National Bureau of Statistics, admitted on May 11 that the number of births has fallen back since 2018, and that the preliminary summary results of this census show that 12 million people will be born in China in 2020. This is nearly 2 million short of the newborn figure released by the Ministry of Public Security.
And since the Communist Party decided to abolish the one-child policy and allow couples to have two children in 2016, the birth rate has declined year after year and the number of newborns has continued to be low.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics of the Communist Party of China, the annual number of births was 17.86 million in 2016, 17.23 million in 2017 and 15.23 million in 2018. 14.65 million births will be recorded in 2019.
The census shows that even if China has 12 million new births in 2020, the number of newborns is down a whopping 18 percent from 2019, the worst decline since 1949.
Only 270,000 people will die in the country in 2020, according to the census
Chinese netizen Ding Jiangang posted an article questioning, “A record low 12 million births in 2020, but a population surge of 11.73 million and basically no deaths in a year?” “Only 270,000 deaths nationwide in 2020?”
Over the past 10 years, the number of people dying each year has been almost constant between 9.5 million and 10 million across China in terms of the number of deaths, with 9.98 million in 2019.
This announcement of the total population in 2020, on the other hand, represents a surge of 11.73 million people compared to the total population at the end of 2019. The natural population growth rate is at a 20-year high. If the number of births is 12 million based on a growth of 11.73 million, the number of deaths in 2020 will be only 270,000.
According to Japanese media, if a country of 1.4 billion people only has 270,000 deaths a year, then it is really possible to use the phrase used by a professor of the Chinese Communist Party when describing the number of deaths from the Chinese Communist Party virus (Wuhan pneumonia): “That’s the same as no one dying”.
Mr. Key, a Twitter user, tweeted late last year that the results of the seventh census had been released a long time ago, because it was so shocking that the CPC Central Committee did not dare to announce it easily, and had to wait for a handful of revisions before daring to announce it to society.
Mr.Key said, “I personally expect the government to release the 7th census information for a total population of about 1.44 billion, but I can responsibly tell you that the real total population of China is currently 1.27 billion and will continue to decrease for more than 10 years.”
Yi Fu-hsien, a demographer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, also recently said that China’s population has begun to decline in 2018, and by 2020, it is likely that China’s population will not exceed 1.28 billion.
Yi also denounced the Communist Party’s statistics for the past 10 years as “the most unreliable census. The seventh national census is the worst census report in China’s history, with “huge water content.
