For sure they are under-reporting. Common sense ! Nation behavior would be -exactly- the same than a contaminated coward person, even worse: hide it and lul if you contaminate others.
I think Trump would be OK to falsify its numbers, like some authoritarian countries are doing, but he hardly can do that.
China, however and once again, shows its capability to control information. They already falsified their GDP & Population amount data.
Showing no, or small contamination, without quarantine, is a win.
Being able to push citizen to go back to work, without protests, even if the disease is rampant is a win.
Spain was the [one of the only] country properly reporting its pandemic in 1918,
this is why it has been named "Spanish Flu"
