Boris Johnson's government is reportedly furious with China's handling of the coronavirus, with UK officials quoted on Sunday warning that Beijing faces a "reckoning" once the COVID-19 crisis is over.
UK government officials believe China is spreading disinformation about the severity of the coronavirus outbreak in its country, the Mail on Sunday reports.
The newspaper says scientists have warned Johnson that China could have downplayed its number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus "by a factor of 15 to 40 times." China had reported just 81,439 at the time of writing.
Officials also believe China is trying to expand its economic power through offering help to other countries which are trying to combat the virus.
The newspaper quoted three UK officials, who all reported fury within Johnson's government.

What? The CCP lies? A brutal socialist nationalist regime with an abysmal record on human rights lied about a disease?
I am shocked I tell you. Shocked!

Well 21 million cell phone accounts in China disappeared in the last 3 months so there's a good bet he is right.

This. This right here. The world should shun China when this is over. Cut off ties completely. It won’t happen. But it should.

China fricked up big time.

I'll just say this: if China is lying at that scale, the fact we can't immediately prove it means our intelligence agencies suck arse.

The US could do it easily. Not sure about the UK.

Everyone knows China has more cases than they are saying.
US pop: 327 mil with 125000 cases
China pop: 1.3 bil with 81000 cases
yeah I'm not buying that
edited to reflect current numbers, makes it even more obvious China isn't reporting all cases

Boris is just stating what everyone already knows. Tell us what you're going to do about it. Otherwise, we're all just billy bob in tombstone.

Yeah, they're lying.

What makes you think our agencies don’t already know? With everything going on, now would a horrible time to do anything about it. Beat the pandemic, then we can hang China.

I hope you’re being sarcastic. If not, let me explain to you...
It matters because the rest of the world wasn’t prepared like we could have been had China not lied and covered up the severity of this.
