HSK 6 Connectors & compound sentences
据 …(据悉 / 据称 / 据报道)
It is learned that / according to reports (据悉/据报道)
Structure 据悉/据称/据报道,+ news
These are fixed source phrases of journalistic prose, where 据 (jù, "according to") fuses with a verb of reporting. 据悉 = "it is learned / reportedly" (a vague but reliable source); 据称 = "it is claimed" (someone says so, without vouching for it); 据报道 = "according to reports"; 据调查 / 据统计 = "according to the survey / statistics". They open the sentence and are set off by a comma. Compared with the bare 据 of HSK 5 (据我所知 = "as far as I know"), here the combination is lexicalized and reads like a headline or news dispatch.
