According to a report by China’s state media Xinhua, Xi said that officials must "do a good job in coordinating epidemic control and economic and social development efficiently, and resolutely overcome some current difficulties in economic development" during visits he made to Sichuan Province on June 8 and 9. He reiterated that the country should "unswervingly adhere to the general policy of ’dynamic clearing’ of COVID-19."Following Xi’s speech, Zhong Nanshan, the regime’s top medical advisor, said on June 10 at the 14th China Bio-Industry Conference that the epidemic must be prevented, but more importantly, economic stability and development must be taken into account. He added that the latter two were equally important.
"The escalation of epidemic control measures is not advisable, as it will obviously affect economic development," Zhong said, according to a report on Yicai.com, a major Chinese financial news website.
He added that pandemic control measures were not as simple as only ensuring a "dynamic clearing" of COVID-19 cases. "At present, to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, we need to focus on precise prevention and control, and we need to rely on science."
