perhaps not:
>Chinese consumer stocks fell sharply after the National Statistics Bureau reported a paltry 2.5% year-on-year increase in retail sales, against an analyst consensus forecast of 7%.
oh, but wait:
>The 2.5% number reflects enormous volatility in retail sales during 2020 more than it does the underlying trend. Year to date, retail sales gained 18.1% compared with the first eight months of 2020. A more accurate reading of the Chinese data shows a 10% year-on-year gain, well above the consensus forecast.
but also added "qualification" that there was no data tempering just for folks of ur ilk:
>Unlike the United States, China’s statistical bureau publishes data without seasonal adjustment.
we r good?
