What is the actual number of people who died due to Corona virus in China? While China claims that just around 4000 people died due to Corona, the world is not believing the numbers. Many organisations and agencies are arguing that the number could be much more and that China, which is a highly dictatorial country with a tight grip of the information, is suppressing the actual statistics.
Compared to 2019 December, China now has 2.1 crore less mobile connections. Similarly, 8.4 lakh landline connections, which were active earlier, are now found to be inactive. With the kind of digitisation that China has achieved, it is highly unlikely that such a huge number of phone connections suddenly fall silent without any apparent reason. According to Chinese telecom statistics, 160,09,57,000 mobile phone connections in December 2019. By March 2020, the number has come down to 157,99,27,000. This means 2,37,10000 phones have fallen silent.
Several China watchers and world agencies believe the China is suppressing the losses it faced due to the Corona virus. Especially, the loss of human life has been suppressed, they argue. So many phones do not fall silent just like that without any valid reason in a highly digitised society like China, they say. Will China ever care to tell the truth?
