Very good question, I would too like to hear thoughts on this. My first impression was that the data was simply not being updated anymore. The change was too abrupt, simply doesn't seem natural.

Is it likely that the Chinese are giving false data / simply not testing as thoroughly anymore?

There's every indication that a strict, extensive test and quarantine process can work to limit the spread of the virus, and China's been doing exactly that.

I'd expect pockets to crop up here and there, but they know how to shut them down once detected, and have the oppressive infrastructure in place to do so.

Right? The virus has to have a host. With people able to leave their homes and move about, it seems that the number of cases are just going to return to increasing now.
