A provincial-level official of the Chinese communist regime publicly says extreme measures in pandemic control will be used for the upcoming Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 20th National Congress on Oct. 16.

During China’s National Day (Oct. 1) week-long holiday, authorities in the Inner Mongolia region, home to the Mongol ethnicity in Northern China, adjacent to Beijing, ordered the lockdown of a county and a city because of single COVID-19 case reports. At the pandemic control leadership meeting, Sun Shaocheng, the CCP party secretary of Inner Mongolia, said that to prevent the spread and spillover of the epidemic to Beijing, the authorities must use extreme control measures in a manner of “killing a chicken with a butcher’s knife that is used to slaughter a bull,” a Chinese proverb equivalent to using a sledgehammer to kill a fly.
