Twenty-five years, one line at a time.

Methodology: all series are annual, year-over-year percentage change, sourced from public National Bureau of Statistics releases. 2020–2023 is defined as the "pandemic window" and marked in red on every chart — an editorial framing, not an official period. GDP and CPI are fully verified; PPI and retail sales currently include only confirmed years, with gaps left open — run the included scrape_nbs.py against the NBS data API to fill in the full series. This dataset is background reference for the Galok 势·框·察 essays and is not investment advice.
