正文： In August Amalia Adininggar, Indonesia’s statistician-in-chief, appeared in parliament with bad news. The country’s middle class had shrunk.

Asked about the grim trend the next day, Joko Widodo, then the president, deflected: “This issue exists in almost all countries.” He was not wrong. Asia’s middle class is not growing as it once did.

知识点：statistician n./ˌstætɪˈstɪʃən/
