Well the death rates seem to be lower outside of China so that doesn’t seem to support that China is understating the lethality of the virus, nor that it is particularly more lethal than the chinese numbers.

Re the higher death rates in the chinese province, I thought it was due to people not showing up to hospital when having milder symptoms, but I watched an interview of a french doctor who suggested it is rather because of the lack of medical infrastructures in that region, to which the chinese remediated by building these spectacular field hospitals.
