    The Spin

    Anti-China narrative

    China needs to wake up from its zero-COVID nightmare. While almost the entire world is learning to live with the virus, China's rigid policy has been a burden on personal freedoms and the economy. Beijing needs to adjust its messaging, embrace mRNA vaccines, and utilize anti-viral treatments to navigate a safe reopening.

    Wired

    Pro-China narrative

    China has made hard-fought achievements against COVID, and they must be sustained to protect the most vulnerable. It's vital to rapidly stamp out any outbreaks to ensure the virus is both manageable and controllable. There are many public health tools in play to support the PRC's successful dynamic zero-COVID efforts.
