Are you trying to say that China doesn't fabricate and lie about their metrics and collection methodology? because I hate to be the one to break this to you, it does and there's a lot of news coverage on it going back over a decade.
They only started blaming the locals once there was concrete proof internationally where they were caught in the lie, and there is plenty of material all of which support this; not just the ones I linked.
Shame is one of the worst things for Chinese culturally.
The fact is, this is not in doubt, and it wasn't a one time thing but rather a consistent effort. Do a simple google search, look at the dates of the articles, they go back decades.
Its well established at this point that this is what one must expect with them.
