something that actually matters or? the article itself sounds like trying to make a lot out of nothing, so do the redditors in the comments who appear to be huffing copium with every breath

    Am I missing something? This seems huge. Delaying GDP statistics "indefinitely"? (Unless it's not actually indefinitely and the angloids just added that in for propaganda, but any delay is still pretty huge)

    I don't know why they're doing this, but it really seems like something major is about to happen

      Am I missing something?

      With China-Watching, the sky is the limit. Very difficult to find credible third-party sources and I'll be damned if I'm going to try and parse through the dry-as-toast information put out by the state bureaucracy, particularly given that I don't speak Mandarin.

      The context of the article makes it entirely unclear, simply peppering in speculation and "This has never happened before in a thousand years!!" hyperbole. Feels very much like a "Big New Coming, Watch This Space" hype-house headline to me.
