China’s NHC stops publishing COVID-19 daily cases, handing duty over to CDC
www.globaltimes.cn
China's National Health Commission (NHC) announced to stop publishing daily COVID-19 case data from Sunday and the duty now hands on to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China's CDC). Observers said handing over the epidemic data calculation to a technical organization is a reasonable move to provide professional epidemic figures.

So the title from NPR (National Propagandada Radio) article misleadingly states

China has stopped publishing daily COVID data amid reports of a huge spike in cases

Despite the text stating, in fact, that China hasn't stopped publishing COVID data. Rather a different agency would be reporting the data.

China's National Health Commission said in a statement that it would no longer publish the data daily beginning Sunday and that "from now on, the Chinese CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) will release relevant COVID information for reference and research."

One can read data in the Chinese CDC page with COVID infection statistics here. It looks like data reported from from the National Health Commission Page.

I fucking hate the West

          Yes, and also, this was a case of not reading past a false headline posted in bad faith by a wrecker. All propaganda is based on a grain of truth, but we have to dig a little deeper than that sometimes
