Are there any plans to release microdata for China’s 2010 Census? I have a research need for these data, and want to see whether this is anywhere in the current pipeline.

I saw that the China 2000 collection was expanded in 2016. There is also a Chinese population survey in 2005 that is yet available—in case there are plans to release those microdata as well. Thanks.

Unfortunately IPUMS-I has not yet been able to obtain these data from the Chinese statistical agencies, so there is currently no plan for future release.
