The Spin

Pro-China narrative

While authorities must pursue the cause of the accident and those at fault must bare responsibility and the consequences, quarantine transfer is an important tool in preventing and controlling the virus. Steps must be taken to correct mistakes, but that doesn't mean the zero-COVID quarantines are the root cause.

Global Times

Anti-China narrative

Although PRC officials rushed to erase online outrage, there is growing resentment toward the zero-COVID policy which continues to show little sign of long-term success. The situation regarding this "quarantine bus" shows a potential disregard for health and safety and indicates that zero-COVID deserves to be critiqued.
