Even allowing that, why does it make sense for the government to hand them the very data they're trying to obscure? Unless you're arguing that they were somehow given the numbers in error, and then erroneously published.

It's probably Tencent doing the data collection/storage/management.

The Chinese government is going to outsource data collection and management of a disease epidemic to an internet software company, rather than their own ministry of health, who are actually trained and educated in healthcare work?
