Chinese economy amid COVID-19
Chapter 1: Stop the bleeding
In the early months of 2020, when China's COVID-19 situation was at its worst, China had taken drastic measures such as citywide lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus. It later achieved major strategic success in its nationwide epidemic control efforts.
