Nobody knows if the virus will resurface or not, but China has no motivation to lie and just let people to have the disease since it's very costy to cure people.

However, China is motivated to resume society of other cities otherwise more people will get into economical troubles and it spirals.

>but China has no motivation to lie

You do not know much about China, do you?

President Xi's job (and possible life) is on the line if he fails. The CCP MUST be seen as perfect and Uncle Xi will ensure it is perfect by lying to anyone and everyone.
