IS The Chinese Government Covering UP Hundreds Of Deaths From the Bird Flu???

This is worrisome since the Chinese government finds it necessary and desirable to cover-up almost anything. Its very difficult to trust what is going on in china and reports like this gain currency since the Chinese government has so little credibility on telling the truth.

According to the source, since 2004, deadly epidemics are breaking out in many parts of China, including Avian Flu. Since 2005, military was put in charge of epidemic control, leading to tightened information blackout. This kept the accurate report on epidemic situation from coming out to the international community.

The source also said that, the announcement by Chinese Health Ministry is also masking the real situation by resorting to 'technical treatment' or 'unique academic modification and interpretation.' Even when they allow foreign experts or international organizations into China for inspection, they can do it only under Chinese authorities' supervision, which made it almost impossible to uncover the real truth.

Lets hope that this isn't true. But that is all we have is hope since no-one can get a straight answer from Chinese officials.
