China has changed the case definition again and will now only count those with symptoms that also return a positive lab result. China's lab testing accuracy and capacity have been a concern from the very beginning but only reporting positive lab results is more inline with how other countries are reporting.
I guess that explains this....

Similar number of deaths but much lower number of new cases

The straight decline in new cases of the virus could be good news, or it could be statistical manipulation. Outside of Hubei, diagnostic test kits are in short supply, and other provinces haven’t switched to using the symptomatic diagnosis now accepted in Hubei. The kits are only being used to test people who came from Hubei and not for cases of transmission, so it’s unsurprising the numbers are dropping. Chinese doctors report that dozens of other hospital patients are being quarantined and treated but not officially diagnosed.
If it's true that only people from Hubei province are being tested, the numbers are a complete sham.
