I will not be surprised if the Chinese government are doing this kind of scenario as I can see that they are doing this to protect their economy but on the other hand it is very unfair also to other governments who not doing something like this. But I am surprised with regards to the numbers because losing 1.1 million users in just a month is a bit too much and 15 million users all together is a huge number if we are going to convert it as an affected persons with covid-19 virus.
But still this data is not yet accurate as this data is base only to cellphone carriers who are losing their users because there are many scenarios why it is happening like the Chinese government banned the use of cellphone in that area due to lock down policies and etc.
