They are bragging their totalitarian system is better than democracy of the west.

Does China honestly think that the rest of the world believes this?

To those who believe the headline, I have a bridge to sell.

I think you can go back way further than November last year.

As usual China is full of it. They've been that way since November 2020. And still at it.

China is now claiming the virus started at a US military fort in Maryland, USA.

So your lamestream media are finally catching up? Fact is, the CCP has been making this claim before, after floating a fish market and Italy previously. Instead of waiting for the Balitmore Sun writer, you might want to look at the Global Times (the CCP mouthpiece) directly.

If you believe this piece of news, you would believe anything ( the world is flat?). All this information comes from the Chinese-controlled media . No independent source is available to verify these lies and party propaganda.

Is this the definitive proof that lockdowns and testing work? Despite it not really having worked in any other country?

Pukey2, I wouldn’t believe either of them.

Sure...
"effective herd immunity" is on the horizon once over 80 percent of the population is vaccinated
Here I agree, and like I said before:
When Japan reaches 80% of its population is vaccinated, I will let my personal prevention going down.
But until 80% are not reached, I will continue with my personal preventions, even I am already fully vaccinated.

The thing is that this (lockdowns until testing has shown complete elimination of infection) is what it is well known amongst epidemiologists as the only way to eliminate a moderately (or higher) infectious virus, because it is how smallpox was eliminated.
On the other hand, the pursuit of 'herd immunity' through vaccination is also well known to be a recipe for repeated cycles of deadly outbreaks even with mandatory vaccination laws and regulations and a disease widely dreaded and acknowledged to be significantly fatal, again, because of the decades of failed attempts to eliminate smallpox.
And the folks screaming their hatred of China? Well, like every such group around the world and throughout time, they don't care about facts, they only care about nurturing hate no matter what it costs.

I think unlike ordinary people, governments and large multinational corporations all over the world believe the Chinese figure because they have enough resources that ordinary people do not have to understand the current situation in China.
China is world factory, which means that countless foreign multinational corporations do business in China, According to rough statistics, Japanese enterprises that invest in China alone employ millions of employees, and American enterprises such as McDonalds the Disney or GM also employ millions of employees. In total the number of people working for foreign enterprises is at tens of Millions in China.if China falsely reports the epidemic figures and the virus has Already spread in China, the employees of these foreign enterprises certainly have been infected, that will affect their business and the management of these foreign enterprises will know for sure. But There is almost no reports that multinational corporations employees are infected with the virus these companies are doing great in China now. It’s impossible for so many foreign enterprises to collude with the Chinese to report fake numbers at the same time .In addition, according to statistics, at least 700000 Taiwanese, 100000 Japanese and 50000 Koreans have settled in Shanghai alone. Can you remember any news that there are a large number of Japanese or Taiwanese settled in China infected with the virus?

Good news for them.

I'm more inclined to believe China than Japan when it comes to covid numbers.
