A 1988 book by several members of the Chinese State Seismological Bureau states that no more than 242,419 people died in the quake. It is unclear whether this number is merely the personal view of the authors, or an official view of the government.

There are various reports that the "official death toll was later given by the Chinese government as 275,000", but without specifying a source, and a thorough search has failed to locate any such official source in English.
