State media in China played down the severity of a surge of COVID-19 infections on Tuesday, while its scientists briefed the World Health Organisation, which has been seeking detailed information about the evolution of the virus.

The global body had invited the scientists to present detailed data on viral sequencing at a technical advisory group meeting on Tuesday, and has asked China to share data on hospitalisations, deaths and vaccinations.

China’s abrupt U-turn on COVID controls on December 7, as well as the accuracy of its case and mortality data, have come under increasing scrutiny at home and abroad. “But … we are firmly opposed to attempts to manipulate the epidemic prevention and control measures for political purposes.” “Public health experts and officials, including in the United States, have been clear it is important that the People’s Republic of China share more adequate and transparent epidemiological and viral genomic sequence data,” the official said. “This is in the interest of the PRC and the international community and critical to identify any potential variants.”

China reported three new COVID deaths for Monday, taking its official death toll since the pandemic began to 5 253.On Tuesday, the People’s Daily, the Communist Party’s official newspaper, cited Chinese experts as saying the illness caused by the virus was relatively mild for most people.

I read somewhere that China had 500 000 positive cases per day and 9000 deaths a day I suppose with their population this is a small number, or are they happy to reduce the population this way? Nobody knows what is really going on in secretive China

I didn't know that Your news agency SABC is associated with Satan world health organisation that that's trying to kill innocent people through COVID 19 propaganda
