Coordinated National Response in Epidemic Prevention and Control
At the meeting held on February 3, 2020 by the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Xi Jinping instructed that there should be a coordinated national response in epidemic prevention and control.
To ensure a coordinated national response, the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee must be strengthened. Party committees and governments at all levels must resolutely follow the unified command, coordination and deployment of the CPC Central Committee, and ensure strict enforcement of orders. All localities and government departments must think in big-picture terms and take a holistic perspective, and resolutely obey the command of the Central Leading Group for COVID-19 Prevention and Control and the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council. When devising epidemic control measures, they should take into account both the needs of their areas and sectors and the potential impacts on key regions and the whole nation.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, under the unified leadership and command of the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core, various localities and government departments have performed their duties, coordinated efforts, taken joint actions, and acted promptly with all their strength. A large number of medical workers from all over the country assembled and rushed to the rescue of Wuhan. By working non-stop shifts, thousands of builders raced against the clock and completed the Huoshenshan Hospital in 10 days. The PLA efficiently delivered anti-epidemic materials and dispatched medical personnel to join the rescue. The manufacturers operated at full capacity to maximize the production of materials for national unified distribution.
As WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom said, "The speed with which China detected the outbreak, isolated the virus, sequenced the genome, and shared it with WHO and the world are very impressive, and beyond words."
All of these have fully proved that by ensuring a coordinated national response, China can arouse the enthusiasm of all parties and concentrate resources on major initiatives. This forms a strong guarantee for the country to win the war against the novel coronavirus, and also demonstrates great strengths of China's state institutions and governance system.
疫情防控要堅持全國一盤棋
在2020年2月3日召開的中共中央政治局常委會會議上，習近平指出，疫情防控要堅持全國一盤棋。
堅持全國一盤棋，首先要加強黨中央集中統一領導。各級黨委和政府必須堅決服從黨中央統一指揮、統一協調、統一調度，做到令行禁止。各地區各部門必須增強大局意識和全局觀念，堅決服從中央應對疫情工作領導小組及國務院聯防聯控機制的指揮，采取舉措既考慮本地區本領域防控需要，也考慮對重點地區、對全國防控的影響。
疫情發生以來，在以習近平同志為核心的黨中央統一領導、統一指揮下，各地區各部門各司其職、協調聯動，緊急行動、全力奮戰。全國各地調派醫務人員，迅速集結、馳援武漢；建設者日夜奮戰，迅速建成武漢火神山醫院；軍隊高效投送疫情防控物資，抽調醫護人員參加醫療救治；企業加班加點，最大限度生產疫情防控物資供全國統一調度。正如世界衛生組織總干事譚德塞所說，“中方行動速度之快、規模之大，世所罕見”。這充分證明，堅持全國一盤棋，調動各方面積極性，集中力量辦大事，是中國打贏疫情防控阻擊戰的有力保證，彰顯了中國國家制度和國家治理體系的顯著優勢。
