 I'll be honest, I was just trying to make a tongue-in-cheek quip, but I'm glad it sparked this discussion.

I agree that it does make sense for the Chinese government to try and get ahead of any fearmongering, but at the same time, people aren't stupid. If the CCP start loudly proclaiming that everything is fine thank you please don't say otherwise Or Else, it's not hard to imagine the populace will start to get suspicious.

As for what they can do with said suspicions, that's another matter entirely.
