Shenzhen Foreign Affairs Office Official was not on this episode. A recording of them was played into it, so these are their words but not an appearance on We Live to Build. It still counts as said, and it is kept out of every score on their page.

Assessment

Official municipal data contradicts the claim that Futian District had nearly 10,000 foreign nationals residing for more than six months circa 2014. According to official Exit and Entry Administration statistics disclosed by the Shenzhen Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee and reported in April 2016, the total number of foreign residents residing for more than six months across the entirety of Shenzhen was 26,579 in 2015 (and approximately 24,794 in 2014). Of that total, Futian District accounted for 5,565 resident foreigners in 2015, while Nanshan District accounted for 11,934. Futian District did not reach 'nearly 10,000' resident foreigners until circa 2018.

Official Exit and Entry Administration statistics reported by Shenzhen Commercial Daily on April 12, 2016, recorded 5,565 foreign residents residing for more than six months in Futian District in 2015.
Citywide resident foreigners residing for more than six months totaled 26,579 in 2015 and approximately 24,794 in 2014 across all Shenzhen districts combined.
Futian District was not reported as having 'nearly 10,000' permanent foreign residents until October 2018 by Nanfang Daily.
