CCP Must Adhere to 'Zero Tolerance' Policy on Coronavirus - New Style Motorsport

Chinese leader Xi Jinping chaired a meeting of the Chinese Communist Party on Thursday in which he appeared to warn members not to question the Party’s draconian “zero tolerance” policy toward the Chinese coronavirus, which has seen Shanghai and Beijing endure stringent lockdowns in recent days, the Xinhua news agency reported.

“The meeting emphasized the importance of unswervingly adhering to the zero-COVID dynamic [Chinese coronavirus] policy and resolutely fighting against any attempt to distort, question or dismiss China’s anti-COVID policy. [Chinese coronavirus] politics,” Xinhua, which is China’s official state news agency, reported on May 5.

The meeting was specifically composed of “the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) [and] it was chaired by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee,” according to Xinhua. Xi Jinping not only presided over the summit, but also “made an important speech” during the assembly, indicating that his voice was the common thread of the overall message of the meeting, as reported by Xinhua.

Shanghai’s full lockdown followed a mandatory testing scheme for all city residents that saw half of Shanghai shut down for five days at a time from March 28 to April 5. Just as the trial measures expired on April 5, Shanghai’s Communist Party-controlled government shocked the metropolis by issuing its full lockdown notice.
