This is true for literally every government of every country, one-party or not. The current US administration is notorious for lying and/or spinning figures to change the narrative

There’s definitely an incentive: to project competence and also deflect blame (we controlled our outbreak, why couldn’t you?). That others have the same incentive doesn’t mean China doesn’t have it. The question is, are they lying or not, and I don’t know the answer to that.

The real question is why does this even matter? Doesn’t make the number of deaths any smaller

It will be very interesting to see how the numbers from various countries converge, including relative severity rates. I don't think viewing the US as a whole will provide good data; it will have to be broken down by state because of the wide range of responses.
