Abstract

Currently, the whole world is still suffering from the COVID-19 (variants) pandemic that has been lasting for over three years and resulted in countless losses. Since its outbreak at the end of 2019, China has first suffered, but quickly gained the upper hand through strict epidemic control and emergency management. Despite several recurrences of regional epidemics in 2022, both economic growth and people’s livelihoods have been effectively safeguarded in China, with a regular prevention system established and social life recovery accomplished orderly. How does China deal with this pandemic? What practical measures taken and decisions made could be adopted and shared with other countries? In this paper, these issues are summarized and discussed as progressive lessons for the rest of the world. Though there’s a major shift of pandemic policy in late 2022 and early 2023 in China, this study still provides insightful and beneficial implications to support decision- and policy-makings in future fights against any possible COVID-19 variants until the end of the pandemic.
