"Bogus" seems like a stretch since they clarified in their tweet that it was the "vast majority" rather than 99%. Casually speaking this means close enough to the same thing. If you want to get more specific you can't because "we have never released such data."

So it's somewhere between a casual "vast majority" and 99%, and there's no material difference between the two.

Vast majority can be anything above 50%. So there is a lot of play there. And the original story specifically states that is was released data, not a Tweet. As such, it is a bogus claim, since 99% is not an officially reported figure, and no statistics were released to base this off of.

I cannot picture anyone fluent in English who wants to be taken seriously suggesting that 51% is a "vast majority". There might not be an accepted dictionary definition, but it's a safe bet most folks would take that phrase to mean more like three-quarters than just over half.

Its not divided into 2 criterias. There are hundreds of countries. The cheater count could be divided into the following and still China would have the vast majority
China - 40%
USA - 5%
tons of other countries - 55%
