China wildly misreporting its numbers is more than dumb national face-saving “stability” seeking bullshit. It means everybody else is badly miscalibrated on everything.

As you expected maybe. I think most leaders under-reacted in time and effort based on Chinese numbers seeming low.

That was their reaction, we still don’t know how big the provocation was. Of course an authoritarian would do a draconian lockdown. It doesn’t reveal much. Their response to everything is draconian
I wouldn’t have been expected China to respond like that actually. I guess I should have, but I would not have. Also didn’t expect the US to lock down like this.
