China defended its coronavirus policies on Tuesday (April 12) in the face of mounting criticism over its zero-COVID policy, which has reportedly caused hardship in several Chinese cities, including the global financial hub Shanghai.
China’s “dynamic” zero-COVID policy and anti-epidemic measures, according to Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian, are based on research and expert advice.
The measures, according to Zhao, are also consistent with the realities of the country and the WHO’s guiding principles. “They have made major contributions to the global fight against the disease by effectively safeguarding the lives and health of Chinese and foreign nationals in China. They have been praised by the entire world, including the WHO “According to him,
COVID lockdowns have created “severe interruptions” for numerous organisations, according to the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China. In a survey, over half of German companies indicated their supply networks had been harmed. Further defending the country’s COVID-19 policy, the Chinese spokeswoman stated that in response to occasional outbreaks, several Chinese localities have implemented a variety of prevention and control measures.
“While these measures have had an influence on daily living and output, their duration and scope are limited.” “All prevention and control methods have a cost,” he said, adding that “in most regions, the vast majority of the population may enjoy normal life and production.”
“In order to protect people’s lives and well-being, all of these efforts are worthwhile. The overall dynamic zero-COVID guideline has been proven to be appropriate because it is tailored to China’s needs and has yielded favourable outcomes.”
