The Chinese government has deliberately underreported the total number of coronavirus cases and deaths in the country, the U.S. intelligence community told the White House, a new report says.
Bloomberg, citing three U.S. officials, reported Wednesday that the intelligence community said in a classified report that China's public tally of COVID-19 infections and deaths is purposefully incomplete. The secret report concludes that China's numbers are fake, two of the officials said, Bloomberg reported. The White House received the report last week, according to the news outlet.

intel community? you mean the one who said Iraq had nuke weapons and dragged US into the war? Or the one who failed to alarm the fed gov to react to the virus even though Wuhan locked down the entire the city in Jan? Or the one who dumped stocks before the stock market crash?
Duuuuuh.... really?
US Intelligence? These are from within.
Meanwhile pompeo be like we have training in CIA about LYING cheating and stealing
no shit.
that’s all we need
Do you know what’s funny watching the entire Democratic Party and a democrat controlled news now defend communism
In other news, Water is wet
Surprise surprise
Can't you just admit that the US fucked up? How pointing fingers at this time is going to save any lives?
This Asian bashing by CNBC must stop!
China lied people died! Also WHO!
BoycottChina shame on China. Just nuke China
You don't seriously trust any number the Chinese leadership provide?
And the sky is blue
Kind of like Trump. No testing kits means no cases.
Fake news.
放你娘的P
Since when has the ccp been honest with the U.S., other than when they said( don't say we didn't warn you😊) I was waiting on bombers to fly over since those words were spoken but I guess they don't care what kills us if that's what happened, it could be anyone who knows
jimcramer tell it like it is
With the under reporting, it was still a crazy high number. Alarm bells didn’t go off
Blame the Chinese government, not the chinese people. They are hostages and endure a life time of abuse from their government.
As same as US, reported Covid-19 cases as 'FLU'
Come on..solve the issue on hand and not create fake reports to blame others. China did a early lockdown. What did U.S. do? Besides sitting and pointing fingers.
Power pendulum moves towards Asia and China. US and Europe have become 2nd tier economies. China is the new global macro and economic power. CNN shaunrein zlj517 WSJ FT TheEconomist Europe ShanSaeedSays
Sounds like what the USA was doing so what else is new👺👺👺
I suspected this! It doesn’t add up how such a populous country as China could have a near-0 new locally transmitted infection rate, while other countries are rising exponentially. They wanted a cap on their numbers as an excuse to restart their economy. COVIDー19 coronavirus
We all knew that. Even Chinese citizens knew the government was lying. The only one who didn’t know that is idiot realDonaldTrump CoronaVirus
?👇🏼 😡 WHO Public_Citizen
Pride & Prejudice
USA MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. YOU GET YOUR MESS SORTED OUT PLEASE.
Even I knew that. And I have no intelligence. Lol How could the White House have not known? Oh. Right.
Well, looks like everyone except CNBC knew it since the beginning. And now what do you think about their PMI report?
Ya think?
It's weird, the only people apparently unaware of this for 4 months, are the people who work in MSM.
Shame on disgusting politician,mind your own people,stop diverting attention
Is it an excuse for Trump’s lies and procrastination? Now no one remembers Trump’s arrogance
And what about the US? Not all States seem to be reporting total numbers, and with many probably cases being refused tests, aren't you guys also ensuring underreporting of total numbers
Scumbags
So its OK for Trump to undermine the seriousness for 3 months and not OK for China to under report the number of deaths?
Trump: hold my beer
Wow, shell shocked over this wild news that no one saw coming.
And yet MSM attack POTUS. Go figure. I guess they like authority and want to control everything.
No kidding.....
Our IC lied about Iraq having WMDs, and our government imprisoned Chelsea Manning for exposing American war crimes. Our entire private sector can't even get doctors vital supplies, but somehow how China is bad because of numbers? They are handling this pandemic way better.
Why not the government tells the public more than 1 billion will be infected and abot 600,000 will die from the COVID-19?
Aloha_Analytics
Sorry, but I'm not going to trust the US. That's just like trusting China.
Just like if the United States doubts China again and again, it can gain some confidence. To cover it's failure. Resolving hatred without facing the problem does nothing to solve the problem. This is the sorrow of the United States.
About time you report this. what took so long
Is that news?
So has Trump
us just flu😷
Why is this a surprise? Media outlets have blindly believed economic data from them too.
grybuck1 You just now figuring that out..😆 it came from a lab too..not a wet market.
Communism. Why act surprised? We're all stuck in our houses thanks to communism. Never forget!
Definitely. This underreported information doesn't need to be investigated by CIA, who should investigate how many died.
So I guess we know who the 'hidden enemy' is in this 'war'
when 5 American = 'So-called-media-Co's' own 97% of all the American media= get-real?!
The US & Italy too...soon the World
ChinaLiedPeopleDied
Your reporting is terrible. You can’t cite any of your sources, and you claim first there are three officials, but then go on to only report there were two officials. Messy messy
Now time for the punishment
NO SHIT!!!
US: First super power to rely on information & propaganda from top strategic rival to assess key strategic risk, like public health
Duh
In February the us Fbi was so busy stocking up on masks and Busy selling stocks ，they said they didn't know what serious the Situation
masonbo No shit. ChinaLiedPeopleDie
Why? To make sure the rest of the world (especially USA) was caught off guard and then get bulldozed when it hit them?
Disgusting by China, so many more lives could have been saved if they didn't care so much about saving face.
It's disgusting that so many lives are going to be lost due to China's inaction and lies, and just as bad is the tertiary effects this is going to have on countries in Africa that are unable to fund their conservation efforts due to shutdowns.
RichardIrmi Trump and his CriminalEnterpriseAdministration are a bunch of lying POS's so nothing they say can be believed!
Ah yes... the famous US intelligence that sill can't find WMD's in Iraq and Al-Assad's chemical weapons.
TrumpVirusCoverup
So why are you showing us the Soviet union flag if the tweet is about China and the USA.
US will be very happy only if Chinese reported covid19 death number over 1.4B, BC too many ppl have mental health illness in US! That is why D. Trump became POTUS.
So how does that help you now?
Anybody who has been following this since the beginning already knew this.
EAT DIRT
Yeah sure, you can believe the american intelligence community any day everyday. Lol.
Despite all this Trump always express respect towards China & it's president. For what ? Giving world a deadly virus which it could have told about to world much before when it became a pandemic. The fact is neither WHO nor China did what they should have done to control it .
Pathetic 🦇
fire u
They needed the intelligence agency to tell them ?
News flash: China lied! Oh really, it took you three months to figure this out? Why is our president and administration so slow in figuring things out? Hmmm...
BoycottChina
So has the US.
CHINOS ENVIAN AYUDA HUMANITARIA A EEUU !!!!Y QUE HACE LA INTELIGENCIA CON SU BRAZO ARMADO ...LA PRENSAHABLAR MAL DEL QUE LO AYUDA..... DESPRECIABLE!!!!
I think we’ll also find the US government did a similar thing via the lack of support for widespread testing. China deliberately underreports while the US deliberately under-tests. What’s the difference?
US intelligence says... I mean is it trustworthy?
The Wuhan virus 🦠 I just love how a lot of American news media been over backwards for the communist party and now appears the tides are changing justifiably so they haven’t been honest they haven’t been trustworthy time America start thinking about changing the supply lines
Already know they lie just like trump does! UNFITWHITEHOUSE GOP HouseGOP SenateGOP GOPLeader VP POTUS senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC marcorubio DevinNunes MAGAmorons USEFULIDIOTS PutinsPuppets are no better!
Does it matter 80,000 and 100,000? Not really at this point. Does it matter if your president tell you “covid19 = flu”amid multiple outbreaks globally? Heck yes!
Look at the curve of reported cases in China and around in different countries, if China is lying about the number, every country is lying! The trend is exactly the same, before China already get controlled with quarantine cities for months.
Not really. US intelligence has been hyper politicized, thanks to the current adm and the purging of key leadership. This ‘story’ is ‘planted’ to attack China and shift the narrative away from poor US response.
Sounds like they tried hard to prove the efficiency of their weapon after being undercounted by their enemy?
Knew it! Why would a small country like Italy report more cases than China? (Who has a population of more than a billion)
Again, let's blame others while Americans dying for a 'HOAX' ?
No shit Sherlock
Maybe China overestimates U.S. government capabilities
Finally some real news from an American news media There’s a great idea let’s stop trusting any data from The CCP
But guess who gets the business.. Who hid the Who endangered others Who repeatedly supported Pak terroist of 26/11 not to declare international terroist who many US, Indian n European died So when it will amaze the world Christian, Buddist, Sikh, Parsi, Hindu in Pak ?
Thanks Scoop
But Yrump said they were doing a great job...we are so doomed!
China has lied, Totalitarianism breeds pandemics
No sh1t.
No really
Shocking. Who would have thought
Concentrate on your own shit, sort yourselves out then you can put petty ‘news’ articles that are confidential yet leaked Instantly...I bet your top man doesn’t put this one down to FakeNews
Trump lies too.....stated 15 cases down to 0 ......
They did. CoronaVirus
The breaking news is that our media are idiots. Everyone knew this.
Wake up,bro! Just admits the failure of US! Is that hard!
naaaaaaaaw
this is not news been evident for at least a solid month coupled with the origin and other data the CPC chooses to withhold/disclose accountability
Note the Twitter handles of the Chinese propaganda sources. Nothing like slapping a seven-digit number to the end of your name to make you look real. Stupid communists.
smnsh.... NOOO surprise THERE. *ugh & sigh* *And NO.... I am NOT racist. Nor do I dislike ANYONE/PEOPLE IN GENERAL based upon ANY and ALL of the other CRAP reasons other people give for being racist. So.... DON'T. E-E-E-EVEN. Go. THERE. *DOUBLE ugh*
Duh - you think? They are also hiding current activity to try and make themselves feel and look better. Basically hiding from the rest of the world impacts from actions taken and their success. Murdering more innocent lives. Truly scum of the earth ... CHINESE VIRUS!
Of course
If only we have a Pandemic Security lead within the realDonaldTrump National Security Council who would've foreseen and analyzed China's much expected misinformation prior to mid-March 2020..... ...maybe lived could've been saved?
Same 'intelligence' community that said Iraq has WMD (a timeless classic)? Same intel community that attempted a coup against Dump? Bozo the clown, meet Ronald mcDonald. Nothing can go wrong here.
CCPis a master in this, by blaming The USA for its incompetence. When you think China can't do worse, they do worse. After that, they give lessons to other countries.
The same intelligence committee that he ignored when they first briefed him on coronavirus? Or the one that is the DeepState? Like he listens to anybody about anything, with the sudden exception of Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx...

AndresHurtadoGR mira chibolin precioso .. antes que hagas entrevistas glorificando dictaduras opresoras y mentirosas
And we find this surprising, how?
After spending tons of taxpayer's money, they told us something that everyone knows already. :---)
Lying is a perfectly acceptable practice to save face in China. No surprise at all 😳
Good scoop. Now do Trump administration.
No shit.. yet the MSM has been carrying water for the Chinese...
Yeah. We know. 🤦♀️ Wow. A LOT late aren’t you?!
Of course they are. Other than Biden, does anyone actually believe China? China lies, cheats, and steals at every opportunity for advantage.
Trump will be doing the same soon. He gets all his dictator tips from Putin and Xi
So has trump !
Drip drip, the truth comes out. China has blood on its dirty hands.
What they've reported since January is bad enough for reasonable people to see that we acted way too slowly to the threat. Congresspeople came out of the Feb 5th briefing indicating Donald wasn't taking it seriously enough. China sucks, no question, but clearly so does Donald.
Big surprise...
And the CCP bots will wake up over in China around 9-10pm EST. and will go off on a propaganda blitz like nobody has ever seen.
Exactly. And this is why BermanLawGroup filed a federal class action lawsuit to make China accountable and seek justice for victims.
I think trump wants or is doing the sme thing .
DUH. But u sure carried the water for them. U r disgusting
No shit. We knew China was lying in January..
I would like to hear US intelligence also found Iraqi's WMD in China.
I could had told you that!🙄
Our intelligence community is not accurate either
