中國官方公布的自殺死亡率數據,似乎自 2021 年起便被「定格」了。目前能找到最新、於 2026 年 1 月出版的《2024中國衛生健康統計年鑑》(《2025中國衛生健康統計年鑑》目前尚未出版)中的死亡率表格仍停留在 2021 年的資料。換言之,數據更新進度比年鑑的名義年份整整落後了三年,這還不包含年鑑本身的一年多出版延遲。 在《2021中國衛生健康統計年鑑》中,自殺率所在的「居民年齡別疾病別死亡率(1/10萬)」表格引用的是 2020 年數據,並無異樣;但在《2022》《2023》及《2024》的年鑑中,同一表格卻反覆使用 2021 年的資料(包含自殺死亡率),似乎未曾更新。

China’s officially reported suicide mortality data appears to have 'vanished' after 2021. I checked the most recent China Health Statistical Yearbook (《中国卫生健康统计年鉴》) available — the 2024 edition, published in January 2026. The 2025 edition has not been released yet.
