I usually disagree with a lot of your posts and over exaggerations, but see eye to eye with you here. 

Anyone denying that China is doing any and everything to shift blame off itself is deluding themselves and the pro China propaganda being spread is very obvious because unlike Russia, China isn't very good at it and you can spot it incredibly easy. Its backfired in many cases anyways because of how awful they are at it. Its clear that other poster can't hide their bias against the US and thats fine and also a common sentiment in Germany anyways lol. But the reality is that America isn't alone in criticizing China. Australia, many African countries, many EU countries, and many Asian countries have also joined in and called for Chinese transparency instead of their blatant propaganda.

What is going on in China atm. They are positing 1 or 2 new cases a day and haven't reported a single death since April 27th. Are we supposed to believe it's completely eliminated in China and only 1 or 2 infected people show up at the border each day?

Since their active cases are down to 260 (or so they say) the fatality rate of 6% seems to be their final outcome. It's unfortunate all our early math models were based on Chinese data of the early spread, unreliable data, unreliable predictions. At least it didn't turn out to be worse.

If you look at reports about China, they still have massive provisions in place. As a chinese you have an app that records your health status as green, yellow or red. In many places you only allowed as green. For entrance on many places you have scan the app and they allow only a certain number of people. You book tickets to view the park beforehand. Everyone coming into the country is preventively quarantined for two weeks in a hotel. Everyone switching between cities is set to yellow in the health app preventively.

So, with provisions like this I actually can believe, they have low number of cases.
