  Not surprising in a country which reported
  19 June 2020 84494 cases and 4634 deaths
  29 June 2020 83500 cases and 4634 deaths (-991 cases!)
  07 July 2020 83611 cases and 4634 deaths
  02 August 2020 84385 cases and 4634 deaths
  Since then, not one single case and not one single death.
  
  Very convincing in a country with a population of 1,400,050,000, isn't it?
  
  86,381 cases of CoVid-19 and 4,634 deaths

  Like many totalitarians, Xi has also instituted a so-called anti-corruption campaign. In the short term, this will likely help Xi secure a great deal of power. However, in the long run, I suspect it will create serious problems. An anti-corruption campaign is not the same as a pro-honesty campaign. Coercive anti-corruption efforts imposed by a totalitarian system will prove destructive. Xi’s coercive police state campaign teaches people to lie and tell the Chinese Communist Party (which is the government) whatever party leaders want to hear. This (along with many aspects of modern China) mirrors George Orwell’s 1984- only with modern technology and surveillance capabilities that seem to be beyond even Orwell’s imagination. In this system, truth is erased by fear. Loyalty becomes something that must be proven daily – with every thought, word, and deed. Mark my words: It will end badly. This is really what the people of Hong Kong are resisting. They see tyranny on their doorsteps. The smart ones left just before the Brits turned it over to Communist China.
