Proportionally, 8MM/1.4bn = 0.57%. For perspective, this loss of life would equate to 1.9MM in the US and 286k in Hubei. That’s big, and it would would get YUGE airtime even on Social Media. China isn’t NK; word would get out. Parenthetically, only 68k got Coronavirus in Hubei.

Chinese social media is fee and open just like in the West so nothing is suppressed which is why people who are around one day have disappeared on the next never to be seen again. Any one in China reporting on social media anything like the truth, no matter how shocking, just disappears and there have been a few who tried before they too vanished. Word may get out in a decade or so, but not now. It was decades before anyone learned what really happened in ‘89.

Making up comparison numbers, presuming assumptions and drawing conclusions is just unreal. Wait! that’s what the CCP does too!

PRC isn't like America with a wide-open telecom sector but it's not NK. There are untold numbers of Westerners working and living there, including bankers etc with corporate email etc. There are lots of smart locals there, too, who have left the confines of PRC and tasted freedom and returned with that bug; they've undoubtedly found a way to breach the govt's controls.

You can believe that 5.7 people for every thousand vanished in the PRC last month, and we're just now finding out about it because of a line graph of telecom users.
