Zhang Zhan attacked a covid checkpoint in Wuhan at the start of the epidemic, trying to "free" people from lockdown. This is NOT "citizen journalism".

China is one of the several countries in asia that defeated the pandemic so its a good thing they didn't listen to her

In another video, a few covid cases were detected in this district of Wuhan, 180 people were under going covid tests. The police are asking Zhang Zhan not to take photos of residents as the residents are afraid to be doxxed online, which could mean losing their jobs.

Sources tell me the entire daily script of the narrative:
"citizen journalist"
“picking quarrels”
"deteriorating health condition"

is formed by Reuters working with the CHRD ngo, which of course has a Washington DC address and is funded by the us govt:

Originally a "dissident", now the exact phrase "citizen journalist" pops up in every Western media article more consistently than any chinese state propaganda campaign could organize

Congrats to Reuters & the CIA for their state control of the media https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/11/how-the-cia-uses-social-media-to-track-how-people-feel/247923/
