Many citizens are not yet celebrating
after cordoning off Hubei, the Communist Party is itching to declare victory over the novel coronavirus that has swept across the country from that central province. On March 10th the country’s leader, Xi Jinping, visited Hubei’s capital, Wuhan, for the first time since the lockdown. He spoke by videolink to patients at an army-run hospital there. He also visited a residential area to see how Wuhan’s citizens—most of whom are still under orders to stay at home—are coping with quarantine.
China’s growing confidence in its struggle with the epidemic is evident in its propaganda. State media increasingly crow about the party’s strengths in handling the crisis. Their editorials marking Mr Xi’s visit to Wuhan proclaimed the success of China’s anti-virus measures, which have required hundreds of millions of people to submit to quarantine, and gave the credit to China’s political system.
There is plenty of it bubbling up online, and not always about the government’s handling of the epidemic. People have been fuming about officials’ lax controls over construction projects, after the collapse on March 8th of a hotel in the coastal province of Fujian that had been requisitioned for use as a quarantine centre. Around 30 people died. The victims were travellers who had returned from other parts of the country and who were being kept in precautionary isolation for 14 days.
