China News Service, Beijing, April 11 (Reporter Zhang Su) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference on the 11th.

A reporter asked questions about the Shanghai epidemic and China's epidemic prevention policy.

　　Zhao Lijian: At present, the global COVID-19 epidemic is still ups and downs.

The Chinese government adheres to the concept of people first and life first, and in the spirit of being responsible to the people of its own country and the world, implements the general policy of "dynamic clearing" of epidemic prevention.

　　For more than two years, China has been one of the countries with the lowest infection rate and death rate of new coronary pneumonia in the world.

Practice has proved that China's epidemic prevention policies are in line with China's national conditions and needs, and are effective, making important contributions to the global fight against the epidemic.

　　A few days ago, a senior WHO official said that China has taken very strong measures to contain the epidemic, and the infection rate, death rate and hospitalization rate are all very low.

Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, China's economy and society can continue to function well, and I believe that the Chinese government can provide maximum protection for its people.

　　You mentioned the epidemic situation in Shanghai just now. The central government and relevant local provinces and cities attach great importance to the epidemic situation in Shanghai. It can be said that a large number of medical staff and volunteers have been dispatched from all over the country, and a large number of materials have been allocated to help Shanghai.

We are all cheering for Shanghai.

　　We believe that with the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the solidarity of the people of the whole country, and the help from all over the country, the epidemic in Shanghai will be contained soon.

Regarding the epidemic in other parts of China, we also have absolute confidence that we will eventually overcome the epidemic.

　　Finally, I would like to say that there is no epidemic that will not pass, and no war that will not end.
