Isn't there a global standard for counting covid related deaths, i.e. that generally, a death within x days of testing positive is generally to be counted as covid related death if no other clear evidence such as car accident etc.? In your example, the lung failure should prima facie a consequence of covid and if they don't need to count such a fatality, then why are we talking numbers at all?
That being said of course any number coming out of China does not make any sense anyhow.

He's a lawyer alright.The restrictions have been a source of much debate, both at home and overseas. Even Mr. Xue’s blog post, which was widely shared on Chinese social media, drew polarizing reactions: Some readers expressed horror, others called it prime material for a comedy movie, and still others attacked Mr. Xue for returning to China at all, decrying it as a selfish decision that risked bringing the virus into the country.Mr. Xue, who was born in China and moved to the United States seven years ago, remains determinedly neutral.“I don’t blame anyone: no person, government, organization,” he said. “I can only blame myself, for having such bad luck.”
Lol can't argue with that
