BEIJING - In an internal speech at a meeting of the core Chinese leadership on Feb. 3, President Xi Jinping spelled out his plan to contain the coronavirus crisis.
Xi was mostly absent from Chinese state media coverage of the crisis in its early days. His first public comments on the outbreak were on Jan. 20. “On Jan. 25, I once again presided over the politburo meeting to re-examine, re-arrange, and re-mobilize the epidemic prevention and control work, especially the treatment of patients. I also decided to set up the central leadership team for epidemic response.
“We should actively respond to international concerns, tell the story of China’s fight against the epidemic well, to show the spirit of the Chinese people’s unity and mutual help. “First, actively promote the resumption of production. Under the premise of doing prevention and control work well, we must fully support and organize the production resumption of various enterprises to maintain the overall stability of the industrial chain.
