Annotation:
Product- and industry-specific information you can also get from Chinese associations of the different branches of industry. Contact addresses are available from CCIT. Economic and financial studies are also often available from major Chinese banks such as Bank of China, Bank of Communications, China Construction Bank, Industrial und Commercial Bank of China and People’s Bank of China. Official Chinese statistics are available, for instance, in the form of national and regional statistical yearbooks. However these statistics often contain contradictory data. The lack of reliability of Chinese statistics may be caused because the responsible authorities often tend to keep secrets; furthermore the methods of calculation and evaluation may differ quite a lot from region to region, from period to period and from office to office. Therefore the calculation of statistical data is quite hard to comprehend for foreign analysts.
