Sorry, I shouldn’t have just stated a claim without some evidence.
Here are some examples of semi-obvious statistical manipulation happening in the Chinese census data. I don’t necessarily agree with all of their conclusions (e.g., they assume that the One Child Policy applies to everyone), but there are enough signs of tampering for my taste.
I can believe that. The World Factbook has different figures, but they are in the same direction. I don’t know where they get their data from, though.
