At present, there is less than a month left before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Regarding the conference, the official press release of the Politburo meeting at the end of August stated: "Conscientiously sum up the work of the past five years, and comprehensively summarize the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core since the new era united and led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to adhere to and develop Chinese characteristics. Great achievements and valuable experience of socialism".
Considering that the achievements of epidemic prevention in the past three years have always been a major achievement and valuable experience frequently mentioned by the CCP, if there are no accidents, summarizing epidemic prevention experience and achievements should be one of the themes of the 20th National Congress.
Prospects of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China | One Core, Two Revolutions, Three Key Words, and Three Key Words of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The three major challenges of the Xi era need to be cautious
From the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there was an interval of five years, of which the new crown epidemic accounted for three years.
Summarizing the work of the past five years, epidemic prevention is an important part that cannot be ignored.
The COVID-19 epidemic, which has never been seen in a century, has become an important node in human history, both in terms of duration, and in terms of the scope, breadth and depth of its impact.
China is not only the first country to have a large-scale outbreak of the new crown epidemic, but also a country that has successfully boiled the new crown virus until its toxicity has significantly weakened.
It may take a long time to see the impact of the new crown epidemic on all aspects of China's politics, economy and society.
Three years ago, when the new crown virus was highly virulent but relatively weak in transmission, China adopted strict epidemic prevention measures that long-term pain was worse than short-term pain, and made the key decision to close the city of Wuhan, which not only quickly controlled the epidemic, but also protected the vast majority of its citizens. health, and create a good environment for the rapid economic recovery and the return of people's lives to normal.
Wuhan, as the place where the epidemic first broke out, quickly brought the epidemic under control under the guidance of a game of chess across the country.

Because of this, in 2020, when the world is in the quagmire of the epidemic, a large number of people have been killed by the virus, and the world economy has been severely hit, the mainland China not only has relatively few infections and deaths, but has also become the only major economy in the world that maintains positive growth. Economy.
This has also become an epidemic prevention achievement that Chinese officials have been promoting over the past three years.
For example, on September 7, at a series of press conferences on the theme of "This Decade of China" held by the Central Propaganda Department, Chang Jile, deputy director of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, said, "The 'dynamic clearing' policy is to be based on the Grasp the small and grasp the foundation”, “Control the epidemic in the shortest possible time with the lowest social cost”, “The cost of evaluating the epidemic prevention and control policies and measures should be calculated in a general ledger, and the country as a whole should be calculated as a large economic account, a large one The social account, the big people's livelihood account, and the big health account", "If the general account is calculated, my country's prevention and control measures are the most economical and effective."

Therefore,
the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China should have a high probability of including the achievements and experience of the new crown epidemic prevention and control, as a "major achievement and valuable experience" from the 19th National Congress to the 20th National Congress.
In addition, another important concern about the epidemic is whether China will adjust and improve the current epidemic prevention policy in response to the new internal and external situation at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
As we all know, compared with the huge epidemic prevention achievements in 2020, the cost and cost of the current strict epidemic prevention model in mainland China are becoming more and more obvious.
Due to the continuous weakening of the virulence of the new coronavirus and the enhancement of its transmission, the strict epidemic prevention model in mainland China can still control the epidemic, but it has become more and more difficult, and the epidemic has rebounded more and more times.
Especially when vaccines have been popularized and many parts of the world are gradually returning to normal production and life order, the impact of the strict epidemic prevention model on the normal production and life order in mainland China has become more and more prominent.
In the second quarter of this year, the economy of mainland China suffered an unexpected shock and fell into a predicament not seen in many years, which is inseparable from the rebound of the epidemic.
In addition, in the process of epidemic prevention in many places, there are layers of overweight, one-size-fits-all, and frequent implementation of global silence and city closures, which have had a negative impact on the government's credibility and the construction of the rule of law that cannot be ignored.
All of these, the current understanding of epidemic prevention in mainland China is very different, and more and more people hope that the epidemic prevention policy will be adjusted and improved in a timely manner.
As Hong Kong 01 wrote in an earlier article "From Chengdu to Silence: Is the 20th Congress a Time Window for Optimizing Epidemic Prevention Policies": "Mainland China fought a successful epidemic prevention battle three years ago. At its worst, it protected the health of the vast majority of citizens, and then continued for three years, at a considerable cost, to keep the virus down to a time when its toxicity was relatively weak.
If any policy is to be lasting and effective, it must stand up to reality and people’s hearts. It must keep pace with the times and continue to optimize in response to changes in reality.
The epidemic situation in China tends to ease, but experts warn that the new crown virus attacks the central nervous system.

As Dr. Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, said, anything that lasts must be moderate and sustainable. Under the new situation, mainland China has come to the time when the epidemic prevention policy needs to be more optimized and adjusted, and corresponding preparations should be made, especially the popularization of vaccines (focusing on vaccination of the elderly), drug research and development and storage, tiered diagnosis and treatment, and the number of hospital beds. , home isolation process, etc., it is necessary to cherish the current precious time window and speed up preparations.
"
Based on the above analysis, at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China a month later, in addition to summarizing the experience and achievements of epidemic prevention in the past three years, whether the epidemic prevention policy will be adjusted is a very important concern, and it is of great importance.
Considering that the assessment of the epidemic situation by Chinese decision-makers may change as reflected in Xi Jinping's first overseas visit after the epidemic, the convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China may become a node for the adjustment of epidemic prevention policies.
