I don't see where I said it was more accurate than anyone elses, you seem to have inferred that for itself.
What I said was that it's able to cope with facemasks.
In fact, the only time I implied theirs was better than others was when I pointed out that it's quite possible that our lot underpaid and bought an inferior product. That's not nearly the same thing as China being at the height of technology.

Possibly. Although the number of people being picked up despite wearing masks would tend to disagree with it being purely propanda. Of course, it may be that it wasn't FR which led to those arrests, and it's instead used as cover for an on-the-ground network.
I tend to think the false positive rate *will* increase with mask usage, but probably not so much so it can't be addressed with a bit of extra manpower put into checking the matches
