In this case, I'd also consider the source. The Epoch Times is heavily invested in making the CCP look as bad as possible. It's a Falun Gong mouthpiece.

In this case, for instance, there's the assumption that new number = new cellphone. But no mention of the fact that the basic fee per month is only 50RMB and that a new number just means a different SIM card. Literally been there, done that. A gigantic pain in the ass as a foreigner, but still cheap and once you have the SIM card, easy to have multiple numbers with a single cellphone.


If you go to the actual Epoch Times article, it states that:

Quote
The number of cellphone users decreased from 1.600957 billion to 1.579927 billion, a drop of 21.03 million. The number of landline users decreased from 190.83 million to 189.99 million, a drop of 840,000.


The entire population of the country is only 1.4 billion. So it's a verifiable fact that there's a lot of multiple numbers per person going on. Dropping an unnecessary number and saving 50RMB a month when you're lowly paid and not working? Kind of a no-brainer, right?

On the other hand, 40 portable crematoria in Hubei working 24 hours a day since February 16 would be needed if the body count was in the hundreds of thousands.


One would think those would be visible on someone's satellite pics, maybe even ones available to the public?

Just a thought, I'm not going looking, not that smart with the googlefu.

One would think. If we're seeing pictures of Iranian mass grave sites in Qom, then there ought to be pictures of these crematoria.
