China has concealed the extent of the coronavirus outbreak in its country, under-reporting both total cases and deaths it’s suffered from the disease, the U.S. intelligence community concluded in a classified report to the White House, according to three U.S. officials.

The officials asked not to be identified because the report is secret and declined to detail its contents. But the thrust, they said, is that China’s public reporting on cases and deaths is intentionally incomplete. Two of the officials said the report concludes that China’s numbers are fake.

Reports on the ground from citizens say the government was paying families of the dead 3,000 yuan each to stay quiet about it.

40k-50k dead in Wuhan alone is what people are thinking is an accurate estimate.

I would not be surprised if there was some initial general accuracy, especially during the exponential phase. They wanted their citizens to take it seriously and quarantine.

I have thought China came to a point where they decided they wanted to get their economy back on track, and the best way to do that is to say it's OK to go back to work, and they started suppressing the numbers big time then.

shite is really going to hit the fan with China once things start to settle down around the world. I’m not sure how or what but there will be hell to pay. Would not surprise me if things turn violent at some point.

So I should take with a grain of salt China reporting yesterday they only had five deaths? Does some official with our government thinks we're so dumb that they have to tell us about trusting China. Our government has been hoodwinked by China for years. It's just sad that I realized it and they didn't.

Water is wet. If the Chinese Govt is reporting something, they're lying. That's all you need to know.

This is where I’m sort of at a loss. We aren’t talking a completely closed society like N Korea. We are talking about a place (yes, albeit a totalitarian regime) where we have thousands of Americans on the ground there at any given time and untold business assets in the country.

If our intelligence assets don’t have the capability to know, at least in a general sense, what is really going on there, then what the hell are they good for?
