The CCP isn't the only source of information about what is happening in China.

China is not North Korea. There is a large foreign presence in China. Wuhan is a large city (between Moscow and Seoul in population) with many foreigners present there for business. The US, the UK, France, and South Korea maintain diplomatic offices in Wuhan.

That's a lot of non-Chinese observers who could see first hand what is happening in Wuhan and report back to their home countries.
