21 million Chinese died of coronavirus – US intelligence officials intercept data

A new data intercepted by the United States reveals that 21 million people died in China from December 2019 to March 2020, US intelligence officials conclude in a classified report for the Trump administration.

The Intelligence report stated that at least 20.9 million of the deaths were linked to coronavirus.

According to the US, the intercepted data that shows that China underreported its coronavirus infections and deaths was validated for a second time when it tallied with a data released by Beijing authorities. Beijing announced on March 19 that over 21 million cell phone accounts in China were canceled in the past three months while 840,000 landlines were closed.

China had reported little over 81,000 infections with 3,300 deaths.

An earlier intelligence report released by the US that China hid scale of the outbreak was quickly rejected by Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying. Hua said the country had been “open and transparent” about the extent of the outbreak before accusing Washington of trying to “shift the blame.”

Neither Country wants blame for releasing the bioweapon

I still think the US probably did it. In the long run it will damage China’s reputation more than the US. Most Americans will believe China did it.

They are basing it off of cell phones not being paid? did the thought ever occur to you that nobody was working and no more money then they make anyway, nobody has the money to pay those bills? It will be happening in the US to. Nobody working, nobody has money to pay for things, with so many not knowing if they will have a job after this. Cable and phone is always the first to go. You can't go without food. So i would not take much credence in those numbers. Its just more to try to scare you.

We cannot trust these numbers. Why didn’t our intelligence let us know how dire things were in Wuhan back in December and January? They blew it.

Me thinks you did not read the article.
As plausible as that sounds, it is not how it works in China

Yes moron people like me did take that in to consideration, and when you take out the people who had mistresses and other men, when you take out the poor people and take out the people who lost money and jobs due to the lock down, there is still about 5 MILLION people missing aka dead... China is all digital currency and everything is done and tracked through the phone!!! 5 million is not 20 million but it sure as hell is more than 3k to 5k don't you think???
