of course china is the only country that jolin has the most fans, and almost all her sales come from china, don't argue with me about this. you never how bad the chinese record market is.. it was messy, how to say...terrible, legal releases sell poor, while most of the people are downloading illegally!
of course the so-called ** million is impossible, since taiwanese idols main market is bad and bad and bad.
there are some of her fans in the other countries, but since they don't speak chinese and their population is poor(china has 1.3billion people). the overseas sale won't be high...
let me give you an example, a chinese star called Fan Bingbing, she belongs to a taiwan company, and they anounced that her debut album sells 30k. and their held a celebration! but the reporters questioned that, did your sale really reach that figure?? after a long-term questioning, she recognized that "maybe it's a little exaggeration".

Well, anyway, the reporters did knew right? So I guess, if that's the case, we can hear something.
Plus, everybody knows how messy China market is, we don't doubt that. Everything in China is ilegal...
And there's no institution to count sales, but they always know how much it
shipped and the certifications and 2 million copies sold are shipped not sold to people. Anyway, if the record company said it sold 2 million copies, I won't doubt, unless there's an article or something... because by now that's the only information we have.

It doesn't matter. Certifications are for
shipped copies, not copies sold. And it isn't difficult to track shipped copies, you don't need a company like Billboard or Oricon to do it.
