Neither source seems to point towards fudged numbers, more towards an increase in suicides as a societal issue to be tackled. Nobody said there's no suicide in China.
I'd need to see evidence of this, all you've done is list suspicions.
All countries have a political interest in showing themselves as better, though. I'm aware enough of China's history to know that your allegations are just that, allegations.
So in other words, you don't have any proof, and are using the lack of proof as evidence. That's not how proof works.
Yep, all you're doing is speculation and treating it as proof.
What discrepancy is there in the data?
You never gave evidence that China under reports, though.
Source: trust me

We can also review an excerpt from the population introduction from the Chinese Statistical Yearbook, which the study someone cited above cites as their primary data source.
Because you keep just saying shit and getting mad when you're not taken at your word that your lack of evidence is actually evidence.
See you're still doing it
Is this the data you're looking for? I don't have a voice in this argument, I just thought the idea that you can't look this stuff up is interesting, so I did a single Google search. Sorry if this isn't helpful.
