They don't span the size of the United States in terms of population spaced out across the country.
Also, while there is "free speech" to a degree, you do not have the freedom in China to criticize the government in the same way you do in the western world. So most non-state media won't say anything bad in regards to how the government has handled the situation for fear of reprisal.
- DiogenesKynikos 6y agoI'm not talking about Chinese media - state or non-state. I'm talking about Chinese people who talk regularly with people outside of China. They can see what's going on with their own eyes. They can see that the hospitals aren't overflowing, that restaurants are open again, that nobody they know has gotten CoVID-19 in months, etc. They went through the experience of an outbreak, then a strict lockdown, then a reopening. There is also foreign media in China. This recent, very interesting documentary on Wuhan that you might understand (based on your username), produced by a German-French public broadcaster: https://youtu.be/LmsI7lc2_Vg https://youtu.be/LmsI7lc2_Vg.
