Chinese protesting against the severe COVID restrictions<\/a> by the Chinese Communist Party has received widespread praise and accolades from much of the media in the United States. However, when Americans protested COVID restrictions, the same media outlets struck a much different tone.<\/p>\n

The New York Times published a story that highlighted the Chinese protestors’ personal stories and the harm caused by Chinese President Xi Jinping’s \u2018Zero Covid\u2019 policy.<\/p>\n

“President Xi Jinping\u2019s unbending approach to the pandemic has hurt businesses and strangled growth, squeezing the world\u2019s second-largest economy,” the Times reported Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In a separate article, the Times lauded praise on young people protesting against the government’s harsh lockdowns. “By standing up to the government, they defied the perception of their generation,” the Times wrote.<\/p>\n

However, American protesters were not met with the same praise. Rather than highlighting the economic pain Americans faced during the government imposed lockdowns, articles published by the Times painted Americans who opposed such measures as extremists.<\/p>\n

In May 2020, the Times published an article titled, “The Coronavirus Becomes a Battle Cry for U.S. Extremists”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“America\u2019s extremists are attempting to turn the coronavirus pandemic into a potent recruiting tool both in the deep corners of the internet and on the streets of state capitals by twisting the public health crisis to bolster their white supremacist, anti-government agenda,” the Times reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a report published in April 2020, the New York Times<\/a> described anti-lockdown demonstrations as “right-wing protests of social distancing restrictions”. The Times used the term “right-wing protesters” in a headline for another article that month as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Washington Post editorial board similarly treated Chinese protestors much more favorably than Americans. In April 2020, the editors described opposition to lockdowns as a “wide-ranging and well-financed conservative campaign to undermine restrictions that medical experts say are necessary to contain the coronavirus”.<\/p>\n

However, Monday, the editors sided with the protesters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Protests erupted in Chinese cities over the weekend, in which ordinary Chinese registered their unhappiness with their country\u2019s strict coronavirus policies<\/a> \u2014 and with the regime itself. A reasonable, responsive government would adjust,” the editorial board wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Guardian’s coverage of anti-lockdown protests varied significantly, too. In May 2020, the media outlet published an article titled “US lockdown protests may have spread virus widely, cellphone data suggests.” On Wednesday, their coverage of the Chinese protests was much more favorable, and even echoed the rallying cry of many Americans during the U.S. lockdowns.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“\u2018People want to live\u2019: views from China on the Covid lockdown protests,” the Guardian titled its recent article.<\/p>\n

Rather than blaming Chinese protesters for spreading the virus, the publication praised the demonstrations as a “remarkable expression of defiance”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other outlets, such as Vox, also have covered the concerns of the Chinese protesters much more favorably than their American counterparts. In March 2020, Vox published an article titled “The whiteness of anti-lockdown protests”, which attempted to describe “[h]ow ignorance, privilege, and anti-black racism is driving white protesters to risk their lives.”<\/p>\n

However, Wednesday, Vox struck a very different tone. “Those of us in the West should listen to what\u2019s being said by the brave protesters who\u2019ve come out to the streets in China,” they wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While less strict and severe than China’s policies, government imposed coronavirus lockdowns in the U.S. had devastating economic, health, and educational consequences. Over 200,000 businesses closed permanently<\/a> during the first year of the outbreak. Children are failing to meet basic reading, writing, and math standards. Healthcare workers who served during the pandemic and many others have since been let go because they elected not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
