re: The fact that the U.S. has passed China in confirmed cases is laughable.

The People’s Republic of China and the CCP has never told the truth about anything, as a matter of course. It is the foundation of their entire foreign policy to be dishonest in furtherance of their own interests.

They lie just to lie. They lie to benefit themselves, they lie to suppress their population, they lie just to frick with us. They lie about money, they lie about environmental and humanitarian issues, they lie about their geopolitical intentions, they lie about everything. They lie to those African countries they are pretending to develop so they can establish a network of debtor states to control. They lie about wanting to improve trade relations with the United States. They lie about their involvement in North Korea’s weapons programs. Everything. All of it.

Do not ever, ever, ever trust anything that comes from the PRC. In a couple of years we may get a study that estimates China’s true covid numbers. But every single statistic reported from Beijing has been and will be a lie.

The most important thing for communists like China and the USSR was/is to make the state look as strong as possible. The states image is more important than lives and any other problem that might be happening.
