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.

Of course it low. They not testing everyone anymore. They only test if necessary, just like the the rest of the world handle it

I had to use a paywall bypass. Other people can open it here: https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Fworld%2Fchina%2Fchinas-national-health-commission-stop-publishing-daily-covid-figures-2022-12-25%2F
I'm not saying this isn't true. It very much could be. But fucking Reuters didn't link to their source, and ffs I'm so fucking tired of Western press.
Sorry, I don't mean to have a struggle session here.

Yes. But so what, Covid tearing through practically every fucking country right now, some countries it’s their fourth or fifth wave and no one give two shite. Why should we care what western media said about China going through a wave with weaker strain when they’re opening up. This is the effect of opening up so it’s shouldn’t be a surprise that Covid goes through. What we should focus on is the vaccination rate and inflow/outflow of hospital. If the former is high and the latter is manageable when the cases are peak, no one care. Life could return to normal.

The Chinese govt already said the daily gonna stop, so of course the number not gonna be accurate, lol. Also, this strain is spread really fast, and probably already spread out. Lock down just gonna slow it down a little and make peoples more angry when they already not cooperate
