Looks like factories aren't really back to work in China. A new report is saying officials have told factories to leave power on and equipment running to make it look like they are operating. They also are faking attendance rolls.


This I believe

I didn't say I believed it. Just posting for discussion.


I can definitely believe that the Chinese government is lying about all of their data. They’re communists after all. For those people, saying things that actually map on to reality is optional.

Reasonable people can disagree about the extent to which they’re lying, but they are most certainly lying.

I can 100% believe this.

Asia is much different than the US when it comes to cellular usage. It is extremely cheap and without a cell number and a phone you aren't doing shite.

I said I'll believe it when I see my Dhgate jersey ship. Which as of now, it hasn't.

there was a huge discussion on this on reddit

Wuhan's population is 11 million.

we would see funeral pyres from space if that many people died

far more likely people cancelled to save money
You aren't thinking like the Chinese here. They would just toss the dead into the next days soup

Maybe getting this flu made their social credit scores drop too low to have cell phones.

Scary numbers. Looking back at the previous years, there are no months that have net decrease until Jan/Feb 2020.

Didn't some billionaire guy from China mentioned something about a bunch of people dying at the beginning?

Id imagine it is the Chinese govt just cutting em off so they can't communicate with anyone.

China may be lying about their data, but the drop in mobile customers probably has a more likely explanation. If someone leaves an area (like many fled from Wuhan) what happens to those accounts?

Yep. This is what I was thinking. It is a go-to move for that government.

How does that compare to a different period? 10MM seems like a lot but it may just be the normal churn over there.

I believe China is not giving us honest data, but if you truly believe 10 million Chinese have died, you are crazy


It would be IMPOSSIBLE not to notice that



Not only that but if it was that infectious then it would be rampant in India by now and we would have credible data coming from them
