Beijing evaluates the health risk — SARS memory in the background
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Beijing notes that the South China Morning Post covers the crisis in three separate articles: the ship's arrival in the Canaries, the evacuation, and the appearance of symptoms in a French evacuee. The Chinese prism is comparison with Covid: how does the international response of 2026 compare to that of 2020? China, which was criticised for its initial Covid management, watches carefully how European governments communicate about an epidemic aboard a ship. The SCMP's implicit conclusion: the European response is more transparent and coordinated than in 2020 — but still imperfect, as the Sydney Morning Herald's 'chaos' revelation shows.
