"China has been publicly and transparently presenting (corona19 information) to the world." "If the country where Corona 19 was first discovered was the United States, would it have done better than China?"

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hwa Chun Ying said on the 2nd. A comment by a Bloomberg correspondence that the US intelligence agency has delivered to the White House a report stating that China has concealed the situation by reporting fewer cases and fewer deaths from Corona 19.

Earlier, suspicions were raised about the statistics of Wuhan's deaths as testimonies of more than 2,500 ashes were delivered to more than 2,500 official corona19 deaths. US weekly news magazine Newsweek also claimed that the number of corona19 deaths in Wuhan could reach 26,000, based on photographs of long-lived families lined up to receive ashes at the crematorium.

The French ambassador to France refuted that the number of deaths was not concealed, saying , "In winter, on average, there are about 5,000 deaths per month in winter, and the entrance to the crematorium was banned after the blockade ." Global Times, the state-run English-language media, even pointed out the statistic controversy as 'the groundless accusations that nations struggling to combat Corona19 pour out at the level of self-rationalization .'
● "Because of insufficient medical facilities and overload of hospitals"

However, yesterday (17th), Wuhan City suddenly announced a statistical correction of 3,869 cumulative deaths in Corona 19 and 5,333 cumulative diagnoses. The death rate increased by 1,290 deaths and 325 deaths from previous announcements.

Wuhan City said, "In the early days of the occurrence of Corona 19, some patients died from staying at home due to lack of medical treatment and lack of medical facilities. Due to the overload of the hospital, reports were delayed or omitted ." In addition, the revision of the statistics was carried out with a team of experts in each sector including Wiganwi, Public Security, Judicial Affairs, Statistics, etc. in late last month. It was conducted by Wuhan City's Quarantine Big Data and Funeral Information System, Medical Management Division's Corona 19 Information System, "We contrasted the Corona19 screening system with the death report." He emphasized, "Correcting statistics as soon as possible not only helps to protect the rights of the people, but also benefits the scientific response of the quarantine service and respect for the lives of society members."

The announcement confirmed Wuhan's suspicion that there were some fatalities. There are still testimonies that there are many deaths in Wuhan that are not included in official statistics. The Communist Party of China suffered a major political blow due to the concealment of information by authorities in the early stages of Corona 19, and the death of doctor Li Won-ryang, who announced the existence of Corona 19, but rather became a distributor of the will. Afterwards, the representatives of Wuhan City and Hubei Province were changed, and Li Yuan Liang was named as a enthusiasm, while strong anti-corruption measures, including the containment of Hubei Province, were preventing the spread of Corona 19. In this situation, it is inevitable that the citizens and intellectuals of Wuhan will continue to demand that the situation be accounted for and the exact number of deaths. It seems related to the emphasis the authorities have made on `` helping people's rights '' as they announce the amendments.

And there is also the intention to go away with the suspicion that continues to be raised from the outside. After the United States continued to point out the suspicion of concealing statistics along with China's accountability theory, French President Mark Long recently said, "It's a naive idea to say that China has responded well to the Corona 19 crisis, and there are certain things that happened in China but we don't know." I said. The statement came after the French ambassador in France raised a controversial post about how the French deal with the epidemic, but the Chinese position to take the lead in the post-Corona 19 era while ignoring China's accountability in the Corona 19 worldwide has raised suspicion. It is a position to reduce rado and increase the number of friends.

However, the question remains, 'Is this number correct?' There are no detailed explanations on whether corrections were included in citizens who were immediately cremated without being tested for corona19 in Wuhan in the early onset. In February, the number of new corona19 confirmers jumped more than 10 times as Chinese authorities changed statistical standards several times. In addition, China does not include asymptomatic patients with asymptomatic infections capable of spreading corona19. In March, there were reports that there were about 42,000 asymptomatic people. Chinese authorities have only recently begun revealing the number of asymptomatic people, accumulating over 6,000 people.
● First reaction to suspicion, and correction… "It was often transparent" On

the 4th, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke in a call with German Foreign Minister Haiko Mars. "China places great importance on the quality of exports and strictly manages them. It is not conducive to stigmatizing medical products to help fight infectious diseases." It was controversial when some Chinese masks and diagnostic kits were revealed as defective in the Netherlands and Spain at the end of last month.

The Chinese media and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, "It is not only illegal production, but also a complex problem related to the procurement process and imported goods." On the other hand, despite this repulsion, on the other hand, all Chinese companies that export medical supplies on the 1st have tightened regulations by saying that they must first obtain a sales license in China before exporting. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce recently issued an order to ban exports to two medical supplies manufacturers.

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a briefing on the revision of statistics in Wuhan City, " Amending the epidemic statistics is internationally accepted, and other countries are also modifying statistics. The revision of statistics was a" missing "due to medical conditions, as Wuhan explained. "There is no 'hidden' thing," he said. He added, "China has been providing information to the World Health Organization, WHO and related countries in a transparent and responsible manner, and has gained sufficient support from the international community."
It is possible to modify the statistics or standards related to epidemics in a situation where the epidemic is spreading, and it is also necessary for accurate identification. However, the Chinese government has emphasized that 'statistics are transparent' even though the number of 'missing' accounts for half of the existing official deaths, and the fact that the concealment of statistics has been missed. Also, although there is absolutely no statistic 'massage', failure to respond early in the outbreak of Corona 19 and frequent changes in statistics and standards caused distrust. Usually, the official position announced by the government, including the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is coordinated by the Chinese Communist Party's propaganda department, which synthesizes the situation of the party and various ministries. The investigation into Wuhan's "missing" deaths began late last month. "Our statistics are published transparently, but I would like to know what it would have been like if we had announced the process 'transparently' for more accurate statistics, including the absence of missing cases," he said. .
