BEIJING: The ongoing fight against the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak is a test of Communist Party of China (CPC) officials. While most are fully devoted to the battle that concerns the people's life and health, a few have failed to pass the test.
Recently, a number of officials in Hubei, Yunnan, Shandong, Zhejiang and other provinces received disciplinary punishment. They have been found disobeying the unified command, favoring superfluous work styles, passing the buck and neglecting their responsibilities.
The epidemic situation remains grim and complex. It is time to test whether the CPC's political and organizational advantages and close contact with the people can be translated into advantages in curbing the epidemic. At this critical time, it is the CPC members' duty to face up to challenges and take their leading roles as scientists, researchers, medical staff, officials, workers, farmers and more. What is needed now is not hollow slogans or personal grandstanding, but concrete actions to solve problems.
Such formalistic and bureaucratic methods have increased the burden of grassroots cadres and diverted their efforts from combating the epidemic. The CPC is guarding against such archenemies in the fight against the virus.
