The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Localities across China are dynamically using new information to craft a science-based and targeted response to the COVID pandemic. Leaders and scientists are collaborating to ensure the optimal measures that limit restrictions on citizens while also prioritizing the health and safety of vulnerable populations within China. This has led to easing restrictions with focused care as society returns to normal.

People's Daily

Establishment-critical narrative

It's clear that many people in China are tired of the increasingly ineffective zero-Covid strategy, and the world is bracing for the worst. While the protests have put pressure on Beijing, the PRC's use of ineffective non-mRNA vaccines could make for a national and even global health crisis. China is now stuck in the volatile position to overwhelm its extremely fragile healthcare system or continue to face public outcry over draconian policies.
