My implicit trust in Chinese statistics and reported living conditions is a bit perilous, totally agree. LOL, maybe we've been doing too much digging? Nah, actually, it seems mostly retaliatory.
We call it the Spanish Flu because everyone's journalism was heavily censored during WW1 so the only country anyone could report on was neutral Spain. If you were Xi you'd expel the shit out of all American journalists too. Everyone else's journalists? You can threaten their aid if they don't say what you want them to say.
