Considering they had a widely reported lockdown of Harbin in April, I have to doubt your numbers.Perhaps I'm alone and foolish in being flat-out incredulous of China's claim of no (or near no) new cases since early March. I rather doubt that. Make your own conclusions, and make them known if you will.
The international agreement is for cases to be reported by a confirmed case in a hospital. If you don't test anyone you have no cases.We can take the official Chinese figures at face value or not. The Chinese government is stating that the total number of confirmed cases is just under 90,000, some sources in China reckon that number should be 640,000.
We have no way of knowing which is more accurate.
We know some countries are definitely under reporting, several in central and south America for example. Russian figures look a bit dubious too, but again, dubious and provably false are not the same thing.
In the UK every death which has Covid-19 mentioned on either portion of the death certificate is recorded as a coronavirus death, wherever it occurs. My wife recently held a service for someone who died at home, having been sent home from palliative care in a hospice to do just that. The death certificate mentioned Covid-19, but her family, rightly in my opinion, do not believe this was the cause of death. She was NOT tested. The lady died primarily from a lung cancer for which she had been treated for the last 18 months and from which she was terminally ill.

"To hell with your "freedom". What the hell about our lives?"
Ask your government, at6.
One country absent from the JHU list is the Cook Islands. No cases of covid-19 and no deaths! Go Rarotonga!
Lies! They are not reported cases as part of the Deep State conspiracy!
You might have something there! The Chinese did fund a new courthouse and police station in the capital Avarua (in a bid for fishing rights, which were denied to them).
So if the first test is inconclusive, how confident should they be in the veracity of the second test result?
