It's hard to take anything China says as the truth. If there's anything we ought have learned over the decades of lies coming from Chinese Leadership (and generally state controlled messaging) is that at the very least, that's not the whole truth.

If they had to lie, they won't release 80,000 cases. It is coming to an end for them. There is very little point in covering anything now.

I wish the U.S. would test more people like South Korea did.

Everyone lies - it's just a question of degrees. This isn't unique to China.

It makes China look better on the global stage if they do a better job containing the virus than democratic nations. I wouldn't call that a little point.

Fundamentally? Maybe nothing. I was responding to the parent comment which claimed there's no real reason for China to under-report numbers.
