An unfinished mission

What China has done in the last two years to cut the transmission chains of the virus immediately after clusters of infections are identified has made it possible for the policy to be implemented without serious nationwide disruption of normal economic activities.

There is also much work that needs to be done to increase vaccination rates and accelerate the development of vaccines and medicines so the country can seize the initiative in its fight against the virus.

Above all cooperation by strictly following control and prevention measures is an important requirement for the policy to work.
