Chinese Pride. Inscrutable lying *** don't wan't to show the rest of the World that China has the same weakness as the rest.
They are very big on 'saving face' aren't they?

My remarks were about the Chinese Communist regime. Not the citizens of China who are also being lied to by their government.
The trouble with that approach is: if you lie to your own citizens about something like that then you are only hurting yourself.
I don’t know maybe it’s the biggest coverup in history but thus far what evidence there is, as opposed to what prejudice there is, suggests otherwise
Well even the Chinese residents smell a ruddy great Rat ( not from the market) and have been saying as much to the foreign media whilst heavily covered in masks,scarves and dark glasses. For their protection you understand!
So, what if there is 'prejudice' or telling the truth as I prefer to call it, this horrendous disease started in China whether you, Ich, like it or not. They have a lot to answer for.
//I’m the last person to trust the Chinese government but I’ve never really understood why they’d lie about it. //
Because they want the economy to get back to normal, so it's in their interests to indicate that the pandemic is under control, at least in their country. They've been a bit over-optimistic with the falsifications though, and it doesn't look particularly believable.
