FactCheck: Overcame impact of COVID-19; played down costs

China's top leader has declared that the country has "overcome" the impact of the coronavirus, even as sporadic lockdowns continue in various areas. China's top leader, Xi Jinping, said this week that the country had "overcome the impact of COVID-19." In propaganda messaging from a major party meeting, Communist Party leaders touted the successes of their response in saving lives while playing down the huge social and economic cost of those measures.

OnTheIssues FactCheck: China suffered as the early epicenter of the COVID pandemic in early 2020, but then instituted lockdowns. The US experienced its first infections at that time. By the time of the Delta variant in autumn 2020, China had overcome most infections (with no functional vaccine) while the US experienced millions of active cases. By the time of the Omicron variant in late 2021, even with a functional vaccine, the US experienced even more millions of active cases, while China had few cases.
