You can’t rely on China’s information about how many chinese who are hit by the coronavirus.
It believes the american intelligence agency CIA, according to the New York Times.
With past and present efterretningsansatte as sources claim the newspaper, that the CIA at least since the beginning of February, has warned president Trump and his government that China’s corona-statements were unreliable.
The real number of infected people in China is supposed to be higher than the official figures, as the country surrenders to the world health organization.
It can have a big impact on the options for its spreading and flow, as both the UNITED states and other countries reckon with.
try Therefore the american intelligence services allegedly at their own help to get more accurate figures as to how much and how quickly coronavirusset has spread and continues to spread in China.
to the picture belongs also to the local officials in Wuhan area, where the lethal virus began its rapid spread shortly before the turn of the year, by all accounts kept the negative information back for fear of arousing the wrath of the country’s top rulers in the capital city of Beijing.
On this basis, the us intelligence services, according to the New York Times concluded that the chinese government itself groping just as much in the dark as the rest of the world in relation to to have a true picture of smitteomfang, conducted the tests and coronadødsfald in Wuhan and the rest of China.
The Danish expert Kjeld Erik Brødsgaard, professor of media studies, politics, economics and international trade at Copenhagen Business School, sees no immediate reason to doubt the correctness of the official corona inventories from China.
“I have a hard time to see what their interest in understating the numbers should be. China also has every interest in to get the economy going again and get migrantarbejderne back at the factories. They have to use real numbers to be able to handle the situation with the necessary care, for a recurrence of the infection will be catastrophic for them,” points out the professor for B. T.
“They may not have any interest in not being open. There is no doubt that they originally slept in the hour, where bad news was suppressed locally, so they have not reached the emperor in China, for he had probably not want to hear it. But when they hear it, so they really, as we saw, when 60 million people in the Wuhan area were shut down,” adds Kjeld Erik Brødsgaard.
“But, of course, also in this case circumvented the figures with a critical mind, compare them with others and use common sense. But with so much attention internationally and domestically in China will be very difficult to hide a resurgence of corona,” estimates CBS-the professor.
Kjeld Erik Brødsgaard believe that China has an objective interest in combating corona in the best way possible.
“If the UNITED states and Europe, for that matter, slip into a deep crisis, it is important, huge export markets for the chinese. It will provide huge problems for the chinese economy,” adds China expert.
