Chinese Party leader Xi Jinping said that China's COVID-19 response has made a smooth transition in a relatively short time, with more than 200 million people accessing medical services, nearly 800,000 severe cases receiving proper treatment, and the country's COVID-19 fatality rate remaining the world's lowest.

China has created a miracle in human history, in which a highly populous nation has successfully pulled through a pandemic, he said.

But Mr. Xi warned that while the epidemic situation has continued to improve in China, the virus is still spreading globally and continues to mutate.
