Why This Bounces Around So Much

The absence of a clean trend is itself informative — it suggests China's underlying conditions here are unsettled or the measurement is noisy, not that nothing is happening.

A 20% move in 2021 alone is doing a lot of the work in this chart's overall story. Understand that one year and you understand most of what is driving the whole series.

Worth pairing this with the same indicator for a handful of comparable economies before concluding anything about China specifically — a move that looks large here can be the regional norm, or genuinely unusual, and this chart alone can't say which.

Check the source link for methodology before quoting a specific year from this chart — China's underlying statistics agency, like most, revises and re-estimates historical figures as better data comes in.
