Claim types Fact
NBS National Data, output of industrial products by province (annual), 'Output of Micro Computer Equipment' (NBS category; published in 10,000 sets, shown here in million units), latest period 2025, read from the NBS National Data API via the progrss vault (§4.11, nbs-china 12 matches/0 mismatches). Provinces reporting output: 21 in 2022, 22 in 2025; the eight shown are the eight biggest in both years, so their ranks are ranks among all reporting provinces. Sichuan: 9,221.22 (2022, 1st), 5,337.78 (2023, 3rd), 4,856.86 (2024, 3rd), 3,829.00 (2025, 4th), in 10,000 sets; Sichuan was first only in 2022; second, behind Chongqing, in 2019–2021 (9,751.37 in 2021). Totals are progrss sums of the provinces NBS lists: 43,418.17 (2022) and 33,186.15 (2025). Derived values (shares, changes, Sichuan's 52.7% share of the fall of 10,232.02 (10,000 sets)) are progrss calculations. 2021 is left out as the comparison start because 2021 was a peak year. Jiangsu (19.59 million) and Hubei (19.61 million) are near-tied in 2025. Reasons for the shift are not claimed.
