U.S. intelligence community has argued that China has not been genuine on its total number of Coronavirus cases and deaths and noted that she had hidden the damage of the virus done to her since the outbreak by publicly underreporting the figures.

Bloomberg reported that a classified report to the White House disclosed by US officials who declared to remain anonymity revealed.

“China’s public reporting on cases and deaths is intentionally incomplete,” Two US officials said.

Johns Hopkins University data showed China has reported only 82,000 cases with 3,300 deaths since the outbreak in December 2019 compared to US’ over 189,000 cases over 4,000 deaths.

“Their numbers seem to be a little bit on the light side, and I’m being nice when I say that,” Trump spoke on Wednesday at the White House on China virus figures.

While US vice President Mike Pence told CNN that US should have handled the outbreak better if China should have cooperated.

“The reality is that we could have been better off if China had been more forthcoming,” Vice President Mike Pence said.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo has asked China and other countries to be honest on their outbreaks by providing relevant information that would help counter the virus. He said that US was doing so by providing the information.

“So that we can save lives depends on the ability to have confidence and information about what has actually transpired. I would urge every nation. Do your best to collect the data. Do your best to share that information,” Pompeo said.
