On June 25, the 12th Congress of the Communist Party of China Shanghai Municipal Committee opened at the World Expo Center. In his report, Shanghai Party Secretary Li Qiang stated that since March, Shanghai had managed to curb the exponential spread of the epidemic at a very critical moment. During the intensive phase of the zero-COVID campaign, the city broke the deadlock of repeated outbreaks, achieved and consolidated dynamic zero-COVID at the community level, and won the Great Shanghai Defense Battle. This has made us more deeply aware that the decisions and arrangements made by the Party Central Committee regarding epidemic prevention and control are completely correct, and that socialism with Chinese characteristics has unparalleled institutional advantages.
