Rio Tinto was accused of causing US$100 billion worth of damages to the Chinese economy over a 6-year period, by Jiang Ruqin, a Chinese employee with the Jiangsu Province Administration for the Protection of State Secrets. However, Bloomberg data showed that Rio Tinto's global iron ore revenue in the 5 years from 2004 to 2008 were US$41 billion. Jiang consequently admitted to using fabricated data from China Central Television and the China Youth Daily newspaper for his accusation.
