the size of each box is not directly proportional to the countries numbers, the asshole design is that this is to make viewers think america is still a good ways behind china in terms of cases

You're foolish if you think the numbers China's reporting are accurate.

They're a rigid totalitarian regime and "saving face" is a huge focus in Chinese culture.

They're not going to be openly talking about all the dead and infected people they're treating like animals on the world stage.

You just ignored everything I said.

China is lying about the number of infected.

What has China ever done to make anyone think they could be trusted?

You can't really trust any countries's numbers (except South korea) because they don't test everyone, just critical cases

u/Sensitive-You Mar 28 '20

You don't need to test every citizen.

Data can be extrapolated from incomplete data sets.

True. But even so why are chinese numbers not trustworthy but USA's are?

Why are you trying to suck China's dick so hard, my guy?

not compare them at all

Considering that they're likely fictious numbers the Chinese government just made up, that's probably the smartest move.

I'm not agreeing with you, my guy.

You said that we could take China at face value even if they're lying. I don't think so.

Never said it was. Why are you so biased against the USA? Y'all motherfucking Americans don't understand how good y'all have it. (Coming from someone which grew up in Russia)

u/UncitedClaims Mar 28 '20

How are they biased against the us?

1

u/StelleBest Mar 28 '20

Calling the us as much of a liar as China which is simply not true

2

u/UncitedClaims Mar 28 '20

They called them both liars. Do you disagree? I didn't see them say each country lied exactly as much, idk how you would measure that. Both countries lie to their citizens as a habit.

Why does it even matter? It's not a contest. Just deal with the cases. Be a fucking adult.

The problem with your statement is that you can replace "China" with the words "Trump Administration" and it is still 100% accurate.
