President Donald Trump on Thursday expressed his doubts about the number of COVID-19 cases being reported by the Chinese Communist Partys (CCP) in its official data that is quoted around the world.

“You dont know what the numbers are in China,” the president said when asked by a reporter whether he was surprised that the United States has surpassed China in the number of cases of the CCP virus.

The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Partys coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China before it was transmitted worldwide.

A tracking map published by Johns Hopkins University currently shows that the United States has 83,507 confirmed cases, compared to China which has an official confirmed case total of 81,782.

Trump said that he thinks the increase in cases being reported in the United States is “a tribute to the testing—were testing tremendous numbers of people … Were doing tremendous testing.”

“Im sure youre not able to tell what China is testing or not testing,” Trump told the reporter. “I think thats a little hard.”

He said that he and Chinese leader Xi Jinping were scheduled to talk by phone on Thursday night.

According to The Epoch Times investigations, Chinas actual number of cases and deaths from the CCP virus are likely to be more than 10 times higher than what is being reported.

A series of internal government documents obtained by The Epoch Times show that the situation in the city of Wuhan, the ground zero of Chinas epidemic, is much worse than what has been officially reported. The documents include statistical data sheets on March 14 about diagnostic test results in Wuhan from the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission. In one example, the real number of new cases of infection in Wuhan is over 20 times more than the official numbers.

Authorities in Beijing also announced on March 19 that the number of Chinese cellphone users had dropped by 21 million over the past three months, without explaining the cause of the drop. The Epoch Times noted in a previous report that cellphones are an indispensable part of life in China and that deaths due to the CCP virus may have contributed some of to the closed accounts.

The number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise in the United States as testing and access to it improves, and as testing centers work to clear a backlog of samples.

On Tuesday, White House Coronavirus Task Force Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said that the United States had now conducted more testing in the prior eight days than South Korea had in eight weeks. At the time, Read More – Source
