The Spin


Anti-China narrative

China has signaled that it may keep its controversial zero-COVID policy in place for a staggering five more years. There are significant economic and social consequences to this wildly unpopular policy. The longer China isolates itself from the world, the more it will harm itself and the world economy by becoming a nation in solitude.


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.
