[국제]The spread of the infection during the Chinese national holiday … How long will ‘Zero Corona’ last?

[앵커]

In China, with the increase in the number of people infected with COVID-19 during the national holiday, there is an emergency ahead of the party convention.

Why is the Chinese government sticking to the zero-crown policy despite the deterioration of various economic indicators and public opposition?

During the national holiday, major tourist destinations in China entered a martial law lockdown due to the spread of the infection.

Due to the stricter quarantine control ahead of the 20th Party Congress, the number of tourists has decreased by more than 60% compared to before the 19th Crown.

However, the daily number of confirmed cases, which was less than 600 at the start of the holidays, has surpassed 2,000.

Shanghai made daily PCR tests mandatory and there were places that implemented containment even though there were no infected people.

The People’s Daily, the Communist Party’s official newspaper, stressed the need to be patient and maintain zero crown.

The reason why the Chinese authorities do not give up their stubbornness despite the economic side effects and the opposition of the people,

This is because we must declare a political victory over the quarantined war at the 20th Party Congress.

Two years ago, China stopped Wuhan’s initial spread by implementing a 76-day lockdown.

When advanced countries, including the United States, struggled, I continued positive economic growth on my own.

Around this time a famous saying came out.

Although the recovery has been slow since this year’s Shanghai blockade, there is no rush for President Xi Jinping.

In addition to the rapid achievement of long-term economic goals, such as the “fully prosperous society”,

There is still time for the 14th Five Year Plan to be established in 2025.

Most importantly, since Zero Corona is a useful means of checking residents, it is also expected that it will not be thrown away until the end of the two sessions, China’s largest political event, in March next year.
