There is reason to think the fatality rate in other Chinese cities is ten times lower than Wuhan. This is not an issue of generically being poor, it's that the authoritarian government knows where their bread gets buttered, and it's on the coast. We don't know what's already happened in the concentration camps in Xinjiang. But I think we share the prediction of what will, as containment of the virus has failed. And it isn't "China being well known for caring about all Chinese equally".
(Also worth noting the single hospital you mentioned has a 50% improvement in capacity (actually much more, because your number is more specific than 'critical care', but I don't know how much more specific) over the city where people are using gutter oil. Capacity can be less when there aren't public defecation concerns, but your example is emphatically not that.)
