The "MSM media" is not ignoring it. Btw, I had to google the term because I wasn't sure what you meant by MSM. It stands for Mainstream Media.

I just went to CNN and NYTimes and ctrl+f for China,

Nytimes has a single article about students protesting the lock down and CNN requires to go to a specific China section to view coverage.

So it's apparently lower priority not front page news.

It's been ongoing for months, so I would not expect it to stay on the front page.

I mean NYT and other media outlets were begging for this type of “real lockdown” the entire time. Not to mention tons of people. This is the “real lockdown” they all wanted.

Well, this is what a “real” lockdown looks like! They are “taking it serious” over in China!

I still can’t get over how so many countries and states decided to copy china back in march 2020. What you see here is the end result of letting exactly one specific problem completely dominate everything else.

In march 2020, the virus hadn't gotten literally everywhere yet. It hadn't mutated through several new strains. It was a completely different situation. I'm really struggling to understand how these things can be equated, even if I squint really hard.

The NY Times has been covering this lockdown for weeks now and I don’t think you get more mainstream than that. Here’s an article from Saturday for instance:

Not exactly ignored. CNN has regular reports on China's Covid-19 response.

Eh? there's a story about it showing up every couple of days in the Washington Post, both news and opinion pieces. As the poster case for anti-"zero covid" stuff, it is being talked about a lot.

Maybe it's not on the evening news in the US, but it's actually OK for every single thing about the world to be covered breathlessly for every single person on the planet every night.
