美聯社的照片表現很鳥:
"In a possible attempt to placate the public, authorities on Saturday announced they had achieved “societal zero-COVID” and restrictions in Urumqi and Korla would be relaxed. The government said taxi, railway, bus and other public services that had been suspended for weeks would resume. State-owned China Southern Airlines announced it would resume flights from Urumqi to four Chinese cities starting Monday."

台灣的中央社除了有把發生抗議的七個主要城市標記出來外, 也找出了白紙運動的起始點:
"一段流傳甚廣、據稱為昨晚所拍但無法獨立查證的影片顯示，一名女子獨自站在南京中國傳媒大學台階上，手拿一張紙，後來一名身分不明男子走入現場搶走它。
其他圖像顯示，隨後有其他數十人拿著白紙走上大學台階，他們用手機的手電筒照亮夜空。
後來可以見到一名男子斥責抗議人群。在路透社所看到的影片裡他說道：「有一天你們會為你們今天的所作所為付出代價。」
人群中有人喊道：「國家也必須為它所做的事付出代價。」"

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."

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."
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.”

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."
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."
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."
加拿大主動提到中國設立非法警局就不尋常:
“We have known for many years that there are consistent engagements by representatives of the Chinese government into Canadian communities and with local media, as well as reports of illicit Chinese police stations” operating in the country, Mr. Trudeau told lawmakers last week. “
這當中如果包含帝國保護費, 以比例來說當真只是零頭:
"現行中期防的5年防衛經費總額約27兆4700億日圓（約新台幣6兆1073億元），日本政府為徹底強化防衛能力，預料將大幅提高編列金額。
日本政府防衛省針對下一期中期防的防衛經費總額提出約48兆日圓的數字，但財務省認為應在約35兆日圓較適當。防衛大臣濱田靖一與財務大臣鈴木俊一，將就金額進行協商。
執政的自民黨內曾任防衛大臣的人士認為，「這個金額不能低於40兆日圓」，這個看法已成黨內主流看法。日本政府考量黨的意見，且對內對外都已表達強化防衛能力決心的情況下，也傾向認為必須編列超過40兆日圓。"
加拿大總算稍微有反應了:
"彭博廿七日報導，這份廿六頁的印太戰略的內容，包括提供近廿三億加幣（約五四○億台幣）的經費，挹注於增加在該區的海軍巡邏、情報與網路安全，以及加強與東海跟南海區域夥伴的合作；此為加拿大外交政策世代轉移的一環，目的在於強化與亞洲盟國的關係，對抗中國在該區的影響力。"
現在對台軍售的延遲會緊張的包括米國自己了:
"The backlog has raised concern that Washington is running out of time to help defend Taiwan against China adequately, because Taiwan, unlike Ukraine, can’t be effectively armed after an invasion. The backlog highlights the challenges the American industrial base faces in producing enough armaments to protect the U.S. and its allies."
全球化肥價格看來有望降溫：
＂俄羅斯的氨氣將經由通到黑海的一條現有管線出口。這條管線是為了每年從俄羅斯伏爾加地區（Volga）輸送250萬噸氨氣到烏克蘭敖德薩（Odesa）附近的黑海港口皮夫登尼（Pivdennyi），以便運送給國際買家。相關作業從2月24日俄羅斯出兵烏克蘭起停擺。＂
這廿年來的安華跟馬哈迪與納吉布還有一馬基金案外案都可以拍好幾季影集了～
［During his second term in prison, he teamed up with Mahathir Mohamad—who at different times has been his close friend, political mentor and rival—to oust Mr. Najib. Mr. Mahathir campaigned in 2018 on the promise that if their party won enough support to make him prime minister, he would pardon Mr. Anwar and transfer power to him. He fulfilled the first part of his pledge, but not the second.
Political analysts say that broken promise led to a mass defection that cost the coalition its majority and led to its downfall. Mr. Mahathir resigned as prime minister in early 2020 amid the shuffle known as “the Sheraton Move,” named for a secretive meeting at the eponymous hotel where his erstwhile allies plotted the maneuver.］
這篇報導整理出過去三年裡的中國海外項目遭襲事件：
［The Oxus Society, a Washington-based think tank, counted about 160 incidents of civil unrest in Central Asia between 2018 and mid-2021 where China was the key issue.
Beijing recognizes the rising threat to its workers in developing countries but doesn’t want to send in its army as it professes noninterference abroad, said Alessandro Arduino, author of “China’s Private Army: Protecting the New Silk Road.” Instead, China is deploying technology such as facial recognition and hiring more private Chinese security contractors, he said.］
封閉的大型環境湧入各地青壯，一言不合就爆炸很正常～
＂鄭州富士康是蘋果手機最大的生產基地，承擔全球一半iPhone的組裝工作。作為iPhone 14 Pro與iPhone 14 Pro Max的主要組裝工廠，鄭州富士康上月底因疫情和員工返鄉陷入缺工困境後，產能大減，造成全球缺貨。
於是富士康頒布月入逾人民幣1萬元（約新台幣4.4萬元）的高薪招募時薪工，據陸媒報導，求職者從中國各地湧來。＂
WSJ這篇有報導富士康工運事件的新進展:
"Videos circulating on workers’ chat groups and on social media Wednesday showed chaotic scenes as workers took to the streets in several areas within the sprawling manufacturing complex. The protests were triggered after some newly hired workers received contracts showing that bonus payments would be released later than when they were promised during recruitment.
Workers who now want to quit the Zhengzhou plant were asked to register using an online form and will receive the exit payment in two installments, before and after they boarded vehicles home arranged by the government, Foxconn’s text message said. The fee would cover their salaries, transport and quarantine fees, it read."
"科隆經濟研究院（IW Köln，簡稱IW）即指出，營收較依賴中國市場的，實際上多是屬於DAX 40的大企業，例如汽車業「御三家」、巴斯夫、拜耳、西門子、愛迪達等。其中又以福斯汽車最為突出，該集團高達4成營收來自中國市場。
這些大企業經常利用在媒體上的大聲量，將自家的營收利益包裝宣傳成德國的國家利益（即就業機會），因此人們才普遍得到「德國依賴中國市場」的印象。根據IW的評估，目前德國產業中，直接與間接靠賺人民幣來餵養的工作崗位，僅佔德國勞動機會的3%。
總括來說，德國對中國的不對稱依賴，並非單純產品外銷賺人民幣的問題，而是更加難解的、在關鍵領域中從關鍵原料到供應鏈都被中國把持的結構性問題。
進一步，中國更是有意識地透過國家力量，將這種不對稱的經濟依賴作為武器，以兩面手法來擴大自身優勢：一方面，它禁止對方投資涉足其關鍵原料、關鍵科技以及基礎建設的領域，藉此扶植自家產業；另一方面，則將對方對自家產業的依賴，轉化為外交利誘或施壓的工具，藉以進一步打開對方市場，或投資、或併購其關鍵產業與基礎設施。
如此，就形成了一種如同「替毒販打工賺毒品吸」的機制：德國既無法與中國脫鉤，卻又在緊密依賴的過程將中國產業餵養成可怕的競爭對手，讓所謂「德國模式」在許多關鍵科技領域的優勢快速萎縮。"
