China Case Definition Changes, Bureaucratic Logic and Political Face
Crowe notes that in mid-February 2020, China changed its definition of a "confirmed case" to require symptoms and contact, which caused reported numbers to drop.

He contrasts this with Western leaders who use emotional rhetoric about "beating" the virus.
