China’s state broadcaster blurs out maskless WorldCup2022 fans as local COVID protests grow
When the World Cup kicked off, images of maskless fans at the World Cup had riled Chinese viewers and social media users, known as netizens, with those supporting the country’s so-called Zero Covid policy deriding other countries for their reckless approach to COVID-19.
Over the weekend, rising nationwide anger over China’s COVID restrictions burst into protests in a number of major cities including Shanghai and Beijing. A growing number of Chinese, however, now see the images of fans from Qatar as yet more evidence that the rest of the world has moved on as their country chafes under restrictive virus protocols and never-ending rolling lockdowns.
This is amazing. Due to the backlash from Chinese fans seeing unmasked crowds in Qatar, Chinese TV is now replacing live crowds shots during games and instead cutting to close-ups of players and coaches.
