Abstract
ABSTRACT China’s COVID programme has created a great deal of controversy. One of the primary aspects is whether China needs to implement a strict and harsh mass control strategy to stop the spreading virus. Based on prior research on China’s perceptions of its COVID policy, this article examines how China intends to contain the COVID by using content analysis of Chinese-language literature on the policy. It identifies four major suggestions to execute China’s COVID policy: governance coordination, public control, propaganda operation, and economic recovery. When debating how to carry out China’s COVID policy, it is discovered that governance coordination is the most popular method, followed by the idea of building a local community-engaged public control system to deal with COVID. Despite the top-down command to maintain a strict approach to COVID, this article argues that the diverse (and sometimes contradictory) domestic views on China’s COVID strategy and execution have made it difficult to predict China’s future policy and how long it will remain in place.
期刊介绍：
The cultural question is among the most important yet difficult subjects facing inter-Asia today. Throughout the 20th century, worldwide competition over capital, colonial history, and the Cold War has jeopardized interactions among cultures. Globalization of technology, regionalization of economy and the end of the Cold War have opened up a unique opportunity for cultural exchanges to take place. In response to global cultural changes, cultural studies has emerged internationally as an energetic field of scholarship. Inter-Asia Cultural Studies gives a long overdue voice, throughout the global intellectual community, to those concerned with inter-Asia processes.
