According to Moon of Alabama the Chinese authorities were right to imprison Zhang Zhan as she had endangered the lives of many people; and potentially millions as she could have spread the virus to other parts of the country.
The Chinese authorities had behaved within the guidelines of WHO for pandemics, where fake news which endangers public safety needs to be fully countered.
Shortly before the man asked Zhang Zhan what she was doing she had knocked over the traffic barrier.
Holding libertarian rants against pandemic measures and knocking over quarantine barrier while providing videos for anti-Chinese outlets is presumably 'citizen journalism'.
Wuhan had soon defeated the pandemic.

ReplyDeleteA 2 hour trail I read. Not very long, I do agree. But people were banned from leaving or entering Wuhan to contain the virus, and at that point they had no idea how infectious it was, so she could have caused a lot of harm.
