China this month scrapped repeated mass testing, centralised quarantine for infected people, and lockdowns, the hallmarks of a policy aimed at eradicating all outbreaks of Covid-19.
Many of the stories included in the video, which can no longer be seen or shared on domestic social media platforms, had highlighted the difficulties ordinary Chinese faced as a result of the strict zero-Covid policy.One Weibo hashtag about the video garnered almost four million hits before it disappeared from platforms around midday local time.
"This virus should just go and die, can not believe this year I can not even find a healthy friend that can go out with me and celebrate the passage into the New Year", wrote one user based in eastern Shandong province.
The infections have prompted international concern, particularly regarding the possibility of a new, stronger variant emerging out of China.
Where is respect for RTEs reporting gone?
Disney's mates.
Is there anyone at all in RTÉ with a single ounce of honesty or self-awareness? The hypocrisy would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious.
Go on RTE.🤣🤣 Your news outlet is just a comedy channel now. First Sweden highlighted your lockdown supporting crap and now China are doing the same.
Ah come on RTE a bit pot kettle black here. The biggest subject ye've ever censored
Bit like when the army kept people lock up in hotels in ireland
The Irish government imposed the same zero covid policies, infact many politicians and bureaucrats and journalist's want to implement them again
Oddly u entertained members of ISAG & their Zero Cv policies for over 2 x years with their intentions to instill ‘fear & anxiety’ amongst the public & any academics who put out a different point of view to Nphet were fired or vilified by the media!!
RTE would do well in China you commie bstards
The irony.
Censorship in China is hardly news at this stage I guess it takes a lot of controls to manage a population of 1.4 billion many of whom are opposed to the state as it exists.
Just like the west with covid, Ukraine and energy costs.
Literally every government censored criticism of covid.policy. especially Ireland
All of the Western World leader's accused of censoring, There I fixed your headline,
Not just China both Trump and Biden administration got twitter to sensor Covid tweets and people they did not want seen by the public..,.....
Says RTE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Ireland you mean ?
