BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s “dynamic-zero” policy against COVID-19 is in line with pursuing economic progress, rather than in conflict with it, a senior health expert said on Friday.

The battle against COVID is an all out “people’s war”, Liang Wannian, head of the COVID response expert panel under the National Health Commission, made the comment at a news briefing.
