The official mortality rate is 17%. That's down from their earlier reported number of 25%. Or as they put it, five times more people are cured than die. I have no idea if China is under reporting the threat or not. I just know what their official channels report.

On a related note, early on China reported a mortality rate of around 2%. This represented the total deaths divided by the total diagnosed with the disease - while most people were still sick. They've stopped reporting that number.

That was a nonsense number.
