Such a garbage propaganda article, and with multiple spelling and grammar mistakes. Zhang Zhan is an anti-CPC agitator who participated in the Hong Kong color revolution; during her 2020 COVID reporting, she got interviews from two overseas media outlets: Radio Free Asia (CIA mouthpiece for propaganda against China and the DPRK mainly) and The Epoch Times (far-right Falun Gong cult mouthpiece). Such an “independent citizen journalist”!
She reported misleading things about the pandemic (as proven in trial, contrary to claims by NGOs and the article you shared that she was sentenced to prison for nebulous reasons), and both argued that the pandemic was worse than the government had reported and that lockdown measures were too restrictive (obviously a very principled person and not just a contrarian hoping to squeeze into the cracks of any differences of opinion to oppose the Chinese govt.).
