Let's say I get a math text book published in China. In the first page it prints 1+1=2. I don't for a minute believe this equation is actually true. But on the other hand, it seems like a very strange lie to tell, because it's so unbelievable. There are too many digits to select, why do they choose 2? It would be far easier to believe a claim that 1+1=11.

It's tempting to believe that the Chinese government just doesn't give a damn what people think, and are therefore willing to say anything at all.

The only interpretation that I can come up with that makes sense is that they just choosed the mose closed digit after 1 without looking like idiots.

Guess what? If you find a state which is too unbelievalbe to be a lie, it has a very big chance that it is not a lie, unless you really get a evidence to against it.

I am sorry be emotinal if you are really seriously to anaylis. However just because you are probably seriouse, I really want to points out you are in the wrong way. When you are driving in highway and find a sign sys 'WRONG WAY GO BACK'. You should go back, but not turn left, breaking roadbed and drive to the wild field.
