A senior Chinese official has defended a sudden increase in the coronavirus death toll in the central city of Wuhan, putting the spike down to standard statistical analysis and once again denying any suggestion of a cover-up.
In his daily briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian told journalists Friday that the Chinese government does not allow cover-ups, Reuters reported.
Wuhan city—where the COVID-19 coronavirus originated before spreading across the world to become a pandemic—revised its death toll up 50 percent on Friday, according to the state-run CCTV news channel
Officials said 1,290 more people than previously thought had died from the virus, representing a 50 percent increase in the toll. More
That there now PROVES the hypothesis that Chinese Communists can’t count!
To give up on using electronic machines instead of using the abacus again!
Wow, what if China made this whole thing up just to see if they could make America lose its shit and act stupid?
“Pick a number; any number… And we have a winner ladies and gentlemen, he’s dead on!”
And this is different from New York how?
21 million cell phone accounts gone.
These Commie ass-wipes ain’t even close yet!
Communists lie. So do liberals. They should both pay for all the economic damage they just inflicted monetarily and on Election Day.
methinks they’re probably still a little off
… just a smidgen … by about a factor of 10x (just for Wuhan)

“Communists lie. So do liberals”
..well, those words are synonymous, so…
They ‘might’ be using the same statistical firm that the hoplophobes use to get their numbers of people that support ‘gun control’ – just speculating.
I thought the Chinese were supposed to be good at math?
Like the Bible sez in end times.
LIES & DECEPTION. Nobody knows what
or who to believe anymore… Joe Biden
is Biblical prophecy incarnate.You know
the part about Babel.
Now thats more like it!! Glad to see you come clean, China
Pfft, wake me up when the total hits 60-80,000. That might be in the ballpark

“I thought the Chinese were supposed to be good at math?”
They are. they are!
Except…everything comes out slanted.
Well, that just leaves North Korea leading the fight against Covid-19.
It doesn’t matter what number they tell you. To China, the people are as insignificant as the coins lost between couch cushions.
MJA There are about 55,000 more Chinese every day!
The most creditable aspect of the Chinese government is that you can trust them to lie. A sudden 50% increase? BS! If the truth were told it would more likely be a 200% increase.
