They had over four thousand deaths but that was in 2019 and early 2020. Since 2021 there's been under fifteen thousand cases and two deaths. That is extremely low so you're right, it should be higher.
Actually I found this surprisingly open-minded article from Australia that explores how the numbers could be so low. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-06/china-low-coronavirus-death-toll/100587910
Basically, with cases being imported from abroad, it may be younger and healthier people getting infected. With quick and thorough testing, cases are caught sooner so treatment begins earlier, and less serious cases are counted. Vaccination rate is very high which helps recovery. And finally, people who die after recovery due to comorbidities and covid making their condition worse may not be counted.
I remember it being news recently that “despite china’s ‘zero-covid’ policy” they had hundreds of cases over a few months, so it seems low but not unbelievably low, especially when you consider that they probably don’t have the same problems with overcrowded hospitals
yeah they seemed to have a lot of portable building blocks around, as if they knew there was a potential for such a thing to happen and planned for it (WHO has always said china is likely gonna be the center of many outbreaks simply due to population and urbanization) or maybe they expropriated some building materials from local porkies
Maybe. Even probably. But even if they're hiding 99.9% of their covid deaths, it still ain't even close.
Plus it's a moot point cus we know for a fact a bunch of Florida cops pointed a gun in the face of a researcher and her family for exposing higher covid deaths than were being reported. Somebody credible can prove China's doing something similar whenever they feel like.

Yes and there's an amazing time lapse of one of the hospitals being constructed in just 10 days.
