This is one area that confuses me. I get not reporting COVID cases anymore, since its kind of pointless now with no PCR testing. Above all, based on testimonials in China, most people nowadays self-quarantine immediately after testing positive on a home test kit or getting a fever and just assuming they have COVID. I don't get why they can't report deaths though, with 10% of the population unvaccinated that's still 140 million people, so one would think releasing the statistics would incentivize the remaining population to get the shots and give people a clearer picture on what's going on.The Chinese government put an end of reporting infections and deaths.
It would take someone that they know in order for those who have been stubbornly refused to vaccinate to get vaccination. It is not like these people don't know how many have died in the West or somewhere closer such as Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.This is one area that confuses me.

covid is more severed than flu, even flu death is reported. covid statistics provide information to researcher/doctors.It's over. Covid is a flu. China don't need to publish anything related to flu, so with Covid. I also said in a previous posts that the media and government should not cover covid anymore, seemed like they take that advice immediately. The government must read SDF lol.
Chinese government and probably researchers too have access to the data. No need to publish the figures when Western MSM will make sure no one will believe them.covid is more severed than flu, even flu death is reported. covid statistics provide information to researcher/doctors.
This is what the mob wanted, and this is what the mob got.The Chinese government put an end of reporting infections and deaths.
Agreed, that's what it looks like from what I can see.Just too many people. Unable to test and get a proper number like old days, when just several thousand were newly infected a day at most.
What agenda are you pushing here bud... Are you whitesplaining to us here dumb commi-sympathizers that Chinese vaccines were and are shit, fake, highly questionable in terms of its efficacy and because of the Commies insistence of using the domestic vaccines will bring about a very high number of unnecessary deaths.Regarding adverse effects:
This is pointless. You are constantly railing against a Western bogeyman when I am only interested in the reality on the ground. I don't care about the West's intentions of slandering China for the purposes of this discussion. I refuted all the fake and inaccurately portrayed data you posted, and for the record there were indeed only 2 deaths vs 7 as of 10 days ago. Not that it matters for the overall point I've been making. You argue that it's unimportant to publish remotely accurate statistics at all, but again that is irrelevant to the reality there, and just clarifying what exactly the baseline data are is largely what I've been arguing. I don't find the death figures acceptable and neither do a ton of other Chinese regardless of whether reporting them plays into a Western narrative that is popular in the rest of the world, which only affects people in China itself tangentially. It's a poor argument to make that losing public trust in experts and the NHC is fine just because the West has it worse in this regard. They could've simply decided to report accurate deaths and stop reporting inaccurately low cases to avoid the problem entirely. Or stop reporting deaths entirely rather than report 7. That they are reporting such a low number egregiously strains credulity and deserves mockery for insulting people's intelligence. It also doesn't help your argument to point out this thread has been talking about the inevitability of mass deaths for a while when you recently have cited inaccurate vaccination figures to bolster the argument that deaths may not be so high after all.
Forget the West and all your grievances against it. I don't think it ever was too much to ask for the average Chinese citizen to want an opening from COVID Zero to have occurred after a vaccination campaign earlier in the year that would actually be substantial in scale to improve outcomes. There were resources for this earlier in the year, but they were not allocated properly. Tons of average Chinese can tell you about it, since the government missteps in allocation of resources that led to this situation were very visible (such as widespread spraying of disinfectant in streets which still occurred throughout 2022). There was enough time for sure to perform substantially better than Taiwan once opening would finally occur. And the government should not have played into old people's TCM-backed fears of vaccination by placing unnecessary restrictions and guidelines around vaccination centered around the elderly as if the vaccination itself poses such significant risk to them. For a long time they also needlessly restricted booster vaccinations for the general public as well, and still are not allowing 4th doses for the non-elderly.
