No news is good news, especially when it is bad news. With the seven-day national holiday known as Golden Week underway in China, economic data will be in short supply.

It is probably just as well after the central government’s alleged directive to state-owned media last week to handle sensitive business data with care.

The document was later leaked to the The New York Times and included topics such as “worse-than-expected” statistics, “local government debt risks,” which have been regularly highlighted by Asia Times, and “the impact of the trade war with the United States.”

Even if it was plentiful, who cares? This is a Communist country that is notorious for pumping out fake economic numbers.
