      Millions of people weren't fighting against covid restrictions in the US either, but western media took a handful of astroturfed protestors and turned them into a country killing movement. You have no idea what is happening in China right now anymore than I do.

      Billionaire think tanks and bourgeois business owners in the West hag poured endless amounts of time and money into fighting covid safeguarding measures.

          And this is a Western, pro-capital news source that's choosing the stories and the slant. I'm not saying this didn't happen, but why is this the discussion and not the tens of millions dead and disabled in the West.

            why is this the discussion

            Because it's a noteworthy event? It's not like the Guardian refuses to report on COVID deaths in the West

              I am again repeating that the Guardian was at the forefront at slandering Jeremy Corbyn in 2019.

              And I'm saying this as someone who reads the Guardian regularly... they certainly downplay covid deaths in the UK and hyper focus on China. Like this article, why did they need to connect covid and a labour protest?
