"Consumption by officials has only a minor effect on the price tag. The major booster is the growth of the country's GDP, the booming economy of the private sector and surging demand from the public."In response to an allegation that 90 percent of drinks claiming to be Moutai were counterfeit, Ji said he believes the actual figure is "lower than 3 percent".
