Does anyone actually believe the Chinese numbers?

I hope not. Though proving a negative has always been difficult. The CCP's extreme reations to the supposed one or two cases certainly begs to differ.

The organization that made this report is based in the UK. I would assume they don't rely on official numbers from china and would instead use other proxy metrics to arrive at their calculations.

They also laughed when Japan was supposed to take over in the 1990s and were correct.

Interesting to see they think uk growth will be 4.2% starting on Friday!? Brexit will add 2.6%ppts to growth, nearly tripling it?

Their own predictions from 4.5 years back have a gdp slump after brexit, even if we stayed in the single market (which we're not AFAIK).
