    Wonderful talking points such as

    • It's actually nationalistic (and thus bad) for the government to praise the people's fight against the pandemic

    • Pandemic propaganda only exists to serve the Xi Jinping Dictatorship™️

    • Xi Jinping is a dictator - the kind liberals think of. And BTW, they only call non-American administrations "dictatorship" us-foreign-policy

    • Coming up with their own vibes-based death toll

    • An obsession over the semi-bungled initial months

    • "Human wave" of healthcare volunteers

    • Being strict about movement within the epicenter is discrimination, actually

    • Repeating the right-wing "extreme brutality" meme reporting of Chinese lockdowns

    • Repeating the imperialist meme that Chinese citizens were abandoned en masse without supplies

    • Being quarantined is literally prison - actually, it's worse

    • Caring about The Economy for some reason

    • Not wanting to provide links to any of their sources

    • The SeeSeePee must be overthrown
