China will make its COVID-19 prevention measures more scientific, accurate and effective, a spokesman for the ruling Communist Party said on Saturday, while reiterating Beijing's stance that its pandemic approach is the right one, APA reports citing Reuters.
Beijing this week reaffirmed its commitment to a COVID policy that has prevented mass infection and death but has also caused deep economic damage and sown widespread frustration among Chinese citizens.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the party's once-every-five-years congress, which runs from Sunday through Saturday in Beijing, party spokesman Sun Yeli said while he hoped the pandemic would end soon, the reality was it had not.
China's "dynamic zero" policy has kept the infection and fatality rate low and ensured social and economic stability, he told reporters.
"If you count the general ledger, our epidemic prevention measures are the most economical and effective," Sun said.
