China's 20 new measures for optimizing the response to COVID-19 are prompting local governments to quickly adjust their policies. Some places are processing how to properly implement the new measures, while some cities, where infections are still on the rise, are facing great challenges in trying to strike a balance between implementing the new measures while properly responding to local residents' needs and concerns.
The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee met on Thursday to hear a report on the COVID-19 response, and discussed and arranged 20 measures for further optimizing epidemic prevention and control work.
Companies, investors and global policymakers are trying to divine when the Chinese government will drop its strict restrictions. It comes down to one man: the country’s top leader, Xi Jinping.
