"How did China beat COVID?" I& #39;m seeing this question asked again even though the answer is right there. Awhile ago I read two tweets from @minority1121 and I haven& #39;t been able to stop thinking about them, so I& #39;m going to translate for my English followers. (1/N)

"No matter how powerful the Chinese people are, they need a core organization. That is the CPC. If there was no source of information, we wouldn& #39;t know how dangerous the virus is. If there wasn& #39;t a lockdown, the infected could be running all over the country. (2/N)

If there wasn& #39;t aid from all over the country, Wuhan might have long ago become a field of corpses. If there weren& #39;t temporary fangcang hospitals, at-home quarantine would become community transmission. If there wasn& #39;t Huoshenshan Hospital, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huoshenshan_Hospital">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huos... (3/N)

Hospitals may collapse again from overcapacity. Behind that, all of it, is organization.
Each and every independent Chinese person, under this united leadership and organization, achieved countless impossible challenges. What you see on the surface is strength, unity (4/N)

And helping each other, which is all due to us being a people who& #39;ve endured countless struggles, humiliation, and unfairness, who used our own hands to fulfill the promise of "our fates are not decided by heaven". We were never the Party or the people. In the face of fate (5/N)

We are one entity. We are - China!"

So that& #39;s how China beat COVID, in the words of @minority1121, for your reference. He was originally responding to an article saying China& #39;s success was due to the people, and not the government. In reality, it& #39;s very much due to both. (6/end)
