It gets even more reasonable if you read the full quote from Fu Linghui, which Reuters decided to omit..
Not sure if you read it already, but you're absolutely right
"The college students put their focus on gaining knowledge at campuses while the public holds different opinions on whether we should include these college students in employment analysis before their graduation. Also, we need research to extend the age period of defining 'youths' as the young people are now having longer schooling years," he added.

"In recent years, the number of university students has continued to expand," Fu said. "The main responsibility of current students is studying. Society has different views on whether students looking for jobs before graduation should be included in labour force surveys and statistics."
This issue, as well as the definition of the age range currently set at 16-24, "needs further research," Fu said.
This is not only completely and utterly reasonable and rational, but this is also a really pleasing amount of transparency in explaining their decision making process
Modern problems require modern solutions. They deleted the data. Now unemployment disappeared. Also the people who posted the data.
I think it's a bit silly to suggest that the Chinese government killed a bunch of statisticians at the National Bureau of Statistics for publishing this data that's actually not as bad as you might in English language news sources.
That was a joke. I know China is not exactly like what the english news channel portrays.
Nooo they wouldn't do that¡ Didn't people say here that the numbers are western fabrications
The new numbers will be the best numbers ever
Say something of worth or else you're just another "Victim of trolling" who'll go yapping to your admins
Turns out having dictators run your country is bad for the economy
It is though. You can look at so many measures from perception of democracy among the citizens, the degree to which power is devolved to the local level most answerable to the community, and the turnover of elected officials being far higher than western democracies which usually feature politicians with what amounts to lifelong tenure.
People actually think China is still run the way it was back in the 1960s because their world view is formed from memes. It’s a democracy and a more vibrant one than what we usually see in the west.
But someone will reply to this with a meme about social credit without realizing they don’t earn Reddit gold here.
Wait an effing minute, unrelated, but by your name, are you Filipino expat in the middle east or something?
The US government is structured such that, although it operates as a democracy, you don't feel like you have that much control over how the government operates.
The US wants to invade Iraq? Alrighty then. California wants to dump $100 billion into a single rail line? Sure. Boston wants to defund transit until it literally catches on fire? Why not. Across every level of government, you're sort of left wondering who they're listening to.
