Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda claims the country suffered a relative handful of infections during the coronavirus pandemic compared to other countries around the world and has all but eradicated the virus across most of China, but state media this week tacitly admitted the disease is still raging and told readers to prepare for preventive measures remaining necessary far into the future.
The Global Times on Tuesday wrote an editorial quoting the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) warning that “the worst is yet ahead of us.” The primary thrust of the editorial was to chastise American and European officials who want to lift coronavirus lockdowns as soon as possible, since keeping those lockdowns in place on adversaries while China ramps up its own industrial production appears to be a major CCP objective.
In the course of playing the victim and rejecting criticism of how the CCP handled the coronavirus, the Global Times admitted it still has a much bigger problem than the numbers it feeds to W.H.O. would suggest:
The prospect of an outbreak remains uncertain. The restless sentiment in the West has been exploited and manipulated by some politicians. This is particularly the case in the US, with President Donald Trump publicly supporting mass protests against social distancing. Pre-mature resumption of work may trigger the coronavirus situation in the West to rebound and drag down global achievements in fighting the virus and plunge countries like China and South Korea into more risks.
Pandemic prevention will become a protracted war. The Chinese people need to be prepared for a whole-year or even longer struggle with the virus. We must be clear that patience and endurance are key during the process and we need to enhance our abilities.

They can use those defective test kits they sent us.
The Global Times is one of the most aggressively propagandistic CCP publications. Not all China publications are this way. One could cite Caijing, for example,
Reports Indicate Coronavirus Boom in Northern China, Beijing
I’ll sleep better tonight if I know they are getting devastated.....I don’t give a damn what hell they go thru....
There is at least a million dead there already.
Mark my words.

WHO = World Hell Organization.
Based on what I am seeing in Southeast Asia media this thing is still crossing China like wildfire. It is in numerous provinces now and I don’t think China will be able to hide the truth any better than Russia could hide Chernobyl when radiation detectors were pinging all over Europe.
World Ho’s IMO, prostituting themselves to left wing tyrants.
Ridiculous wording: coronvirus is raging across China. Nothing like hyping a story to induce fear. As far as I am concerned, the media exists to dramatize the worst in life, creating fear and sowing dissension.
“Based on what I am seeing in Southeast Asia media this thing is still crossing China like wildfire.”
I have no doubt whatsoever.

Sounds about right.
1% fatality rate in China would be at least 15 million dead.
Burn in Hell CCP
I hope you are wrong, but a million deaths aren’t much there.
“I hope you are wrong,”
Me too. But you know I’m not. If anything I’m low.

With a population of over 1.5 billion, it is a statistical impossibility that China had only the deaths and infections claimed when compared with the rest of the world’s experience with the Wuhan virus.
