China’s foreign ministry on Monday said the government’s “fight against Covid-19 will be successful”, a day after people took to the streets across the country to protest against strict virus controls.
Asked at a regular press briefing about the demonstrations, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said the question did not match the “facts”, adding: “We believe that with the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and support of the Chinese people, our fight against Covid-19 will be successful.”
