Not even so-called "emerging economies" like India, Brazil, Turkey etc are expected to grow

    1 headline that says "The Chinese economy could be 12% smaller than what the official data says" from the financial times. Even if this is accurate how would it disprove that the Chinese economy was growing?

      No I’m saying that Chinese economic data is not reliable. Not that any other countries data is reliable either.

        Your source said ‘could be 12% less’. It didn’t say ‘no measurement is reliable so let’s chuck the whole lot out—but especially when talking about China’.

        If you’ve got a critique of GDP as inaccurate and meaningless, go for it. You’ll find good company here.
