這次中國白紙革命的外媒報導紀錄串:
"Beijing has been relying largely on domestically developed vaccines with a lower efficacy than mRNA shots. Meanwhile, frequent lockdowns have kept businesses closed and pushed up youth unemployment, with China now facing its worst slowdown in decades.
Wary of the high stakes, China’s top leadership earlier this month unveiled plans to “optimize and adjust” the policy to rescue the economy. However, local officials across the country doubled down on restrictions when cases started to rise recently."
路透社的報導相對帶點距離:
"During the weekend, protesters in cities including Wuhan and Lanzhou overturned COVID testing facilities, while students gathered on campuses across China in actions that were sparked by anger over an apartment fire late last week in the far western city of Urumqi that killed 10 people."
有記者被毆打的BBC這次直白很多:
"For a political organisation with no greater priority than remaining in power, this is as big a challenge as they come.
The government appears to have drastically underestimated growing discontent towards the zero-Covid approach - a policy inextricably linked to Mr Xi, who recently pledged there would be no swerving from the policy."
向來左傾的紐約時報這篇動用四名記者並附有照片與各地抗議影片:
“Later we shouted, ‘No nucleic acid tests, we want freedom’ and ‘No to health codes,’” she said. “I felt like finally I could say what I’ve wanted to say.”

澳廣特別作了一段兩分鐘訪問:
"It was unclear why they were so far away, but some said fire engines were blocked by pandemic-control barriers or by cars stranded after their owners were put in quarantine."
CNN則是把烏魯木齊火警影片放開頭, 四通橋掛橫幅影片放結尾, 串聯起中國疫情下的反抗動靜:
"Meanwhile, hopes that Beijing might be signaling a slight softening of its zero-Covid approach – after minor relaxations in some quarantine requirements – are beginning to fade amid an uptick in cases as China heads into its fourth winter of the pandemic..
The government appears to have drastically underestimated growing discontent towards the zero-Covid approach - a policy inextricably linked to Mr Xi, who recently pledged there would be no swerving from the policy."

自由亞洲電台深度訪問僥倖逃脫的參與者並曝露了中國警方偏好逮捕女性抗議者並施暴的現象:
"我们看到有很多的警察在那里打哈切，我们就走到警察防线后边。因为警察防线是在机动车道上，我们就走人行道，走到他们后边。其实这是有点危险的，因为容易被他们切段。
然后大概是5点半左右开始，我就看到大概每十分钟就有一到两个人被抓走。被抓走的人大部分是女性。我后来也被抓走了，我被抓到车上后，就看到后面有好多的人正在被他们暴打。"

WSJ今天則進一步指出極權面對政策後果反撲時只能更加強硬的心理機制:
“The danger is that if the leadership responds with repression, that could take China down a vicious cycle of control, leading to more grievances, to more control,”
米國駐中使館所發的緊急通知可視為中國短期內封控更嚴甚至出現軍事鎮壓的預警:
"We encourage all U.S. citizens to keep a 14-day supply of medications, bottled water, and food for yourself and any members of your household."
