1 The uses of some indicators in this system are questionable. For instance, some indices mix the level of development and growth rate together: a "non-agricultural population" variable is used to
indicate "human development" instead of industrialization; "administrative efficiency" is measured
with some irrelevant variables, e.g., "number of layoff workers," "number of members in the
National Peoples Congress," and "geographic background of newly appointed provincial leaders."
These problems seem to have resulted in unreliable assessments on regional development.
