The authors of this paper might well be honest and smart, but they - as we all - have to rely on raw data provided by China.

But the gp isn't making the argument that the data is suspect, and so carefully curated as to point to a misleading conclusion. Rather, it accuses the paper of reproducing a political party line.

If China is messing with the data, why do we even have data that shows the epicenter of infection moving southeast? Why not just hide or falsify it?
