The only thing regarding China I'm still ignorant about is the whole discourse surrounding them supposedly suppressing infection and death numbers; every article I see about it seems to be using it as a scapegoat to blame China for our own failures. I don't even know if they are doing that - - is there even evidence or anything - - , but if they are it isn't any different than every other nation right now.

it's highly likely that the numbers coming out of china were inaccurate, if only for some of the same reasons that our reported numbers are inaccurate. blaming the inaccuracies on intentional state suppression serves a lot of peoples' interests and reinforces their pre-existing views, so they default to that explanation.

in reality, the reason for the inaccuracies are probably a mixture of incompetence, under-preparation, slow or bad data collection, etc and the state shaping the narrative to serve its own ends. i mean, that's exactly what's happening in america, only with more incompetence and with a less unified elite and less centralized political system

There's no factual basis for it aside from "racism." That said it's certainly possible they are massaging their numbers, and it might even be politically expedient for them to do so, but accounts from inside China say that local party members who were fudging numbers to make themselves look good are being punished & removed for impairing the relief effort. EVEN IF they're cooking the books on a national level, they still have the most comprehensive epidemiological data due to massive comprehensive testing, and treatment/mitigation data due to being the most advanced outbreak, and we should absolutely listen to whatever the gently caress they're willing to share with us and take copious notes.

Like every other country and epidemic, we'll have a better sense of the true scale of this poo poo show by looking at excess mortality rather than "covid" numbers. Don't buy into whatever horseshit the CIA is pushing about it.

Also, double lol because Teddy Roosevelt did this exact loving thing during the Spanish-American War

https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2020/april/uss-theodore-roosevelt-commanding-officer-followed-example-colonel


Roosevelt delivered the letter to Shafter, but, presumably not convinced the corps commander would act on it in a timely fashion, also allegedly handed a copy of it to the Associated Press correspondent who was covering the Cuba beat. That correspondent quickly cabled the letter to AP headquarters and it published nationwide the same day.

but why would suppressing the numbers serve the state interest? once the horse was out of the barn door it was not in China’s interest to have the entire world shut down.

Virtually every single thing you hear in the white media about China is fiction, but it goes mostly unnoticed because white people are both racist and not particularly curious about the rest of the world. This one is just staring you in the face.
