China also likely lies about their numbers so it's not likely we'd know the real death count. According to their stats, they had covid 4 covid deaths in all of 2021. This puts them at the number 2 best results spot.
The issue here being that all the top stats spots for least deaths are from island countries, which china is not.
- mike_h 5y agoChina is on Earth, not in some other solar system. If their excess deaths per capita were a fraction of the numbers in the West, there would be no way to hide it.
- ipaddr 5y agoThe easiest way to hide it is to report death was caused for another reason. If someone like yourself is going to take their numbers at face value they have already hidden it.
- mike_h 5y agoOk, so conspiracy theory logic.
- hiptobecubic 5y agoThe CCP hiding deaths is not new at all. Covid is one of many at this point.
- mkbgw 5y agoThat's not how excess death calculations work. They would have to not report the deaths entirely, not just misattribute them.
- samatman 5y agoCan you explain in detail what would be stopping them? I'm not seeing it.
- HWR_14 5y agoWhether out of malice or just the difficulty of testing corpses with inadequate supplies s, I thought it was widely assumed all countries were underreporting in at least 2020 and probably further. Therefore, everyone serious looked at excess deaths.

- jhbadger 5y agoPeople are still arguing how many people died in the Great Chinese Famine of 1959-1961. Some say as low as 15 million others as high as 50 million. It's easy to hide millions of deaths in authoritarian regimes.
- gruez 5y ago> If their excess deaths per capita were a fraction of the numbers in the West, there would be no way to hide it. Why not? Taiwan only had 854 covid deaths, or 0.00335%. Hiding that from official statistics doesn't seem too hard.
