China revises last year's GDP, stating it does not affect this year's GDP growth accounting. National Bureau of Statistics Director Kang Yi said that the revised 2023 GDP is 129.4 trillion, an increase of 3.4 trillion compared to the preliminary accounting, with a growth rate of 2.7%. China has been conducting economic censuses since 2004. According to Caixin, the GDP revisions in 2004, 2008, 2013, and 2018 were 16.8%, 4.4%, 3.4%, and 2.1% respectively. National Bureau of Statistics Deputy Director Lin Tao pointed out that based on the past four instances, data revisions have not had a significant impact on the GDP growth rate of subsequent years (United Morning Post). Online comment: It's normal to revise data. When I used to work at a commercial bank, every year at the end of the year, we had to revise data multiple times before reporting it 😄
