Is the ministry of education in China a reliable source?

Why wouldn't be a reliable source on education in China?

Pls only cite sources vetted by the cia

Is the US Census Bureau a reliable source?

true that 90% in 1950 was probably padded

I'm going to go with yes. 97% isn't an unreasonable literacy rate for a country, being similar to those of Greece, the Philippines, Turkey, and Chile. It would also make sense given the emphasis that has been put on education

Forgive me for being sceptical. I've worked with a lot of Chinese researchers who have said outright that I should never cite a paper from China unless it's published in nature or I know the authors personally (because it's so often falsified).

Fwiw the same stats (or similar ones) are corroborated by other sources
