海峡导报综合报道 距离年底“九合一”选举仅剩不到100天，据“ETtoday民调云”20日公布的最新调查显示，在新北市长选战，国民党参选人李四川以39.3%的支持度，微幅领先民进党参选人苏巧慧的37.3%，双方差距仅2.0个百分点。国民党台北市议员锺沛君分析直言，“川伯不差，但苏巧慧不弱”，目前李四川遇到的问题是民众知道他会做事，但还没完全连结到“所以新北应该交给他”。    According to media reports, the newspaper Beijing Daily published a story on Monday afternoon quoting Cai Qi, the Communist Party of China’s secretary in Beijing and a former mayor of the city.,“In the next five years, Beijing will unremittingly grasp the normalization of epidemic prevention and control,” the story originally quoted Cai as saying, according to the UK Guardian.,Now, the article only says the city will “make unremitting efforts to normalize epidemic prevention and control” to “control quickly and resolutely block the transmission channels of the epidemic.”,It goes on to note the various efforts that must be improved, including a “normalized nucleic acid testing and key screening” process, regularizing cleaning and inspection of public spaces, and controlling entry and exit of the vast city of 21.5 million, which is deeply connected with the surrounding Hebei Province and nearby coastal metropolis of Tianjin.,China’s Economy Got $26 Billion Boost From Gov Buying 11 Billion Covid-19 Tests - Report13 June, 22:01 GMT,China adopted the “Zero Covid” policy in 2021, when the arrival of the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, brought an increasingly stubborn new outbreak. However, the principles underlying it - that mass lockdowns, with logistical networks funneling food, supplies and medicine to residents under quarantine while medical workers test the entire population for infection - were forged in early 2020, when China fought off the world’s first outbreak of the virus.,Throughout 2021, the policy was extremely successful, limiting mainland China to just two COVID-19 deaths that year. By comparison, at least 415,000 Americans died of the virus in 2021.,However, it wasn’t until early 2022 that the Omicron variant, even more infectious than Delta and with a penchant for causing asymptomatic cases, really put China’s “Zero Covid” policy to the test. Between the beginning of April and the beginning of June, the Chinese government spent some $26 billion on COVID-19 tests as huge cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Xi’an were placed in lockdown for weeks at a time and their tens of millions of residents tested several times in an attempt to track down, isolate and treat all cases of the disease.,40% of Kids Aged 0-3 Suffer From Long COVID, Which Lasts at Least Two Months - Lancet Report23 June, 12:37 GMT,Despite its success at preventing mass death among its 1.4 billion people, the Chinese government has been extensively criticized by the West, which has variously accused them of lying about the extent of the outbreak, terrorizing its population with the lockdowns, and claiming that the policy in unsustainable. When World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus suggested in May that China would be better off if it abandoned “Zero Covid,” Beijing fired back.,“The purpose [of Zero Covid] is solely to protect people’s life and health to the greatest extent possible and underpin sustained, sound and steady economic and social development,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at the time. “In China, we have the foundation, the conditions and the capability to achieve dynamic zero-COVID. We have every confidence in winning this hard battle and making greater contributions to the united global response.”,A study published in May by researchers at Shanghai’s Fudan University and at Indiana University in the United States warned that if China’s “Zero Covid” policy were removed and the respiratory virus allowed to spread unimpeded across Chinese society - as has happened in most other countries - it would “generate a tsunami of Covid-19 cases” that would kill at least 1.5 million people.,Just over 5,200 people in China have died of COVID-19 since it appeared in late 2019, while about 6.3 million have died globally, including 1 million in the United States.。

锺沛君指出，李四川最强品牌是“会做事”，可是新北29区幅员辽阔，各区选民在某些议题上有些落差，还有该民调结果显示出，在评估“谁最有能力解决上述新北问题”时，李为38.2%、苏巧慧为38.0%，两人看好度差距仅有0.2个百分点，因此李四川目前最大问题是个人最强品牌还没完全转化成新北市长能力认知，也就是民众知道他会做事，但还没完全连结到“所以新北应该交给他”。锺沛君强调，李四川过去最强舞台在台北市，包括北士科、京华城等等，台北市民对他很熟悉，但需要时间经营新北市民，“川伯不差，但苏巧慧不弱”，加上对方有爸爸苏贞昌的在地组织网络，而蔡英文担任其竞总主委对民进党支持者是会有加分的。不过锺沛君也说，李四川最大优势是他不是高度政治色彩鲜明的人，对新北市来说，不是只靠蓝军有没有归队，而是蓝白票有没有整合，中间选民往哪里走。
