China’s “zero Covid” policy has a dedicated following: the millions of people who work diligently toward that goal, no matter the human costs.

Literally the first sentence. Meanwhile close to 1 million Americans have died.

    "In the northwestern city of Xi’an, hospital employees refused to admit a man suffering from chest pains because he lived in a medium-risk district. He died of a heart attack. They informed a woman who was eight months pregnant and bleeding that her Covid test wasn’t valid. She lost her baby. Two community security guards told a young man they didn’t care that he’d had nothing to eat after catching him out during the lockdown. They beat him up."

    Zero evidence any of these happened but no one will accuse NYT with spreading "unsubstantiated claims"

      Okay, i was wrong, they later on say that there's a video from the first man's daughter on Weibo which is... there apparently, no links, not even a ripped one for Twitter or something.

        The core of propaganda isn't lies, but emphasis (sometimes emphasizing a lie when necessary). If you wanted, you could see literally hundreds of instances of people being turned away from hospitals in America right now because they're over capacity. But if you never show the videos people take here and only mention the videos people take there, then there will appear worse.
