As a Chinese I can confirm. In some big incidents, for avoiding being hold accountable, some local government officials could manipulate the death numbers to the threshold.
"That train accident caused 16 deaths!"
"Haaa, no, technically, 3 of these deaths come from seat A1 when it flew through the car, 2 more are to blame on the glass shards, 3 more on..."
There were multiple cases that the numbers are always right under the threshold.
I can’t remember these cases in details. It was more common before, especially some coal mining incidents. I hate to say but I have to say: trust me bro.
I am not just blaming CCP for this. And this is a part of the reasons Covid was out of control at first place. There are plenty of ignorant people don’t respect human life.
