I should have phrased this differently. I’m not suggesting that chinese citizens won’t actually know that tons of people died. What I’m conjecturing is that it will not be acceptable to talk about the real death toll in public, and there will be wide error bars around people’s estimates of how many people died because the official counts will be so artificially low.
