Due to the nature of Chinese telecoms, your national ID is bound to your mobile number account, which is in turn bound to your Alipay account, the one-stop mobile app that manages all monetary transactions, including banking.
If you lose it you lose access to Alipay, which is basically how the Chinese pay for everything from chewing gum to haircuts to groceries.
People don't just cancel their phone numbers because of that. Even if you change your mobile phone number it's a hassle in Mainland China because of that.
When phone number accounts are not paid for a certain period, or if some other actor (relatives? gov?) shut down your personal account related to the country's database, the mobile phone accounts are automatically cancelled.
Here we see a drastic drop in mobile accounts in all major Chinese telecoms. China Mobile alone reports a disappearance of 7 million and 254 thousand. The actual number of coronavirus deaths may be up to 14,472,000 if we take the three major telecoms in China.
Anons from the previous thread raised the issue of multiple SIMs owned by a single person. Whilst that may be the case for business or other reasons, it still doesn't explain the anomaly here.
Have a (You) for your efforts user, seems you’ve done more work looking into this than anyone in the media. These slanty eyed bat eating insectoids ate definitely bullshitting the world with their numbers.

You don't need phone 4g if you're stuck at home with wifi and this will last from 6 months to a year. Why not cut the cost and drop the phone service. I already cancel my phone plans, netflix, amazon prime, etc to cut back costs. China numbers are definitely fake but no way 15 million died.

Can you focus your autism on determining if I should sell my Link or not?
Daniel Jenkins
Supposedly everything is back to normal in China though.
Ryder Wood
Maybe in certain regions but no way it's back to normal in regions that got hit hard. They have to worry about wave 2 of the virus if there's any.
Samuel Price
Wouldn't make sense if all your banking is tied to your phone number like op claims. We need a gook to confirm.
Wyatt Lee
Trying to determine "factual data" about China is next to impossible. It's mostly a waste of time.
People's phones could have been turned off to stop the spread of info, there could just be an issue with their data, etc etc etc
Evan Bennett
>kick out all western journos, including globalhomos like nyt we're totally fine dudes
although, couldn't cancelled cell phone account just be brokeass chinks downsizing?
James Hernandez
So I didn't feel like it was worth making my own thread for, but I've tried to do some snooping online & can't get a shred of info out of China. I don't want to pretend like I'm some 1337 hacker, but I do know how to find extremly privledged info via irc & tor. Obviously the validity of any info that I get from those sources is suspect, but what really concerns me is that I can't find anything. Not even disinfo. Nothing is leaking out of China, even pro China propaganda.
I went further & went on Chinese only onion based forums, some invite only. I'd scour the entire site with Google translate & there is not a peep. I then asked someone I know who is Chinese to help me set up a fake tinder profile to hopefully trick some simps into spilling the beans. Absolutely nothing.
I don't know what to conclude from this other than it is really bad there--really bad, and people are scared.

communist shut down everyones phone in most infected areas to stop spreading western panic
and we on the other hand have 24/7 news pumped out by every news vultures all around the world to get clicks with clickbaity titles

in late feb some user posted a link that showed real-time traffic analysis from Garmin for Wuhan. Can someone find this? While not really related to 'deaths' it would show how shutdown is society still? When the user posted it, there was like a 98% reduction in traffic according to Garmin.
Isaiah Wilson
Can you look at December 2018 and January 2019 to see if they do an annual purge of numbers? Great work here

bump, I hear some anons talk last month about massive # of bodies being burned in wuhan from weather/sat data
It's a meme, Trump just let it slip that it's a complete Hail Mary.
Hudson Edwards
Without doubt the dumbest fucking thread on Yas Forums right now and that's saying something
Ah yes, China must have thousands of times more deaths than all other affected countries and this is adequately evidenced by mobile phone contracts.
Just fuck off you stupid fucking retard, it obviously doesn't make any fucking sense but because you think you have a shred of evidence to support a completely illogical argument, you thought "hey, better not let this go to waste as I can get some attention from other idiots on the internet".
It's like wandering into some backstreet and witnessing some retarded bum pissing into the mouths of a dozen other retarded bums.
Most cases of covid are mild. The side effects of these anti malaria drugs include shit like blindness, deafness, & seizures. Mild cases have a low death rate, so 95% of covid cases would be better off not taking it even if it does cure it 100% which is still only tentative based on studies with small samples.
David Sullivan
One thing I dont understand is if they are still in a bad situation, why are they sending supplies to Europe?
James Brooks
You have to go back
James Barnes
You are doing absolutely based truthful journalism user, keep it up
Jayden Roberts
The original number of people who fled Wuhan was 9 million. They were then labelled as enemies of the state, with bounties, numberplate tracking and phone tracking used to reel them in.
That's the only thing I can think of at the moment.
Luis Flores
>Total customers 1 million
What? Our top mobile carrier has 5 million or so.
Hunter Morris
Millions have died in China, but that doesn't mean their government is in a bad situation.
Is fake news trying to hype the stupids so they stop crashing the markets
Joseph Murphy
>China must have thousands of times more deaths than all other affected countries It's probably fake but why can't it be real? It's the biggest country, it started there, they had been covering it up for weeks and eventually there was an unexplained decline in cases
Cooper Cruz
>why are they sending supplies to Europe? they don't need them if they just let their own people die. its part of their propaganda to show europe how great china is compared to the us as an ally
Lucas Johnson
It's not very far fetched at all considering it's China we're talking about. You know the same China that slaughters thousands of student protesters and then pretends it didn't happen at all and you'll go to prison if you talk about it. Is it not even slightly suspicious that the reported cases in China just came to nearly a complete halt as soon as it started exploding in other countries so people weren't paying as close attention to them anymore?
Matthew Cooper
It works, but it has a good chance to make you blind, deaf and cause a heart attack. It's a drug you take when you know you will die anyway.
Cooper Ross
Oh i get it, it's in thousands lol, i'm too drunk for this.
Josiah Lee
You're a fucking nutcase. No country would be able to hide 100k dead bodies let alone 14.5m, especially when the entire world was watching it.
Here's a far simpler explanation - phone bills are one of the first expenses people would cut in these types of crises when their workplaces shut down and they lose almost all their income.
Verizon stocks are down right now because Americans are doing the same. This will only intensify as millions of Americans file for unemployment next week.
Asher Reyes
fucking retarded. if 15 million died, someone would have noticed. there are hundreds of thousands of expats living there. thousands of foreign journalists.
Ethan Nelson
Except the Chinese use their phones for everything. You can't just not use your phone over there
Henry Bell
fucking hapooning disinfo agent. chloroquine is so benign its used as a prophylactic by tourists against malaria.
Hunter Harris
That and the most obvious explanation - chink government started shutting of services to individuals who were leaking out info, messages etc that shouldn't be.
Brayden Jenkins
Feeling nervous moonboi?
Wyatt Barnes
The CCP is pretty good at keeping shit under wraps. 15 million dead chinks is a drop in the ocean.
Juan Murphy
>bullshit numbers What about the Diamond Princess?
Noah Anderson
>muh diamond pwincess Most of those cases are still ongoing
Cooper Wood
Bump
Isaiah Myers
15 million is only 1 in 100 chinks, and even if it's 1.5 million or a few hundred thousand that's way way higher than what they're reporting
Brandon Garcia
American settlers gave smallpox infected blankets to Native Americans. Who has the means to screen literally millions of paper products from China right now?
>poor workers sent home for a month >have money to pay all the bills
necc, first thing they drop are cell phones for children stuck at the house and later their wives phones as they have to move to a family phone.
Fear mongering faggots can't think through anything like a human because they are sub-human.

>muh inhuman bugpeople There's no reason to blame the poor sods living in a totalitarian hellhole for their weird antisocial behavior. Human beings aren't designed to develop into functional adults when they know that they're being surveyed, judged, measured at all times by an entity they aren't allowed to question and that has absolute power over their lives.
Justin Smith
Screencapping a ton of this thread, I want to see you do the same and reposting it so we can see if it's true in a month or so
Jace Evans
Chinks are insects though, death numbers are meaningless compared to one white person
Christian Robinson
Sure, if China wanted to get a purge going this would be the time to do it.
Aaron Flores
Absolutely the best thread on Yas Forums right now, peak internet detective.
lmao. it always cracks me up when I see moronic anons post shit from jennifer zeng or china uncensored and think its some underground fringe info. both outfits are glowie as fuck; not saying that the chinese can always be believed either but if you take what people like jennifer zeng say without a grain of salt then youre just unwittingly whoring yourself out to glowie psyops
Carter Foster
Good bread, makes me wonder why on /pol you can't find a thread like this.
It's posted on Yas Forums first At the very least this didn't come from that twitter whore specifically, pretty sure it started on some HK forum first. Besides that, you can check the info yourself for this one. No trusting anyone necessary, just that the reasoning/interpretation behind the data may be different
Sharing extra information some HK user posted
"From what I read in HK forum, the chink mobile subscription work like this: Every subscriber has a stored-value card which they need to transfer money in it, the telecom company will deduct the subscription fee every month, if you didn't have enough money they'll cut your subscription and chinks usually wouldn't store a lot of money in their cards, but rather transfer money on a monthly basis. It is possible for a single to have multiple subscriptions, but since your number is bound your real identity it is not common for your average guy to have multiple numbers, also it is important to have a subscription since china has pushed the electronic wallet (alipay) very hard, you basically must have an number in order to use alipay"
