During the COVID-19 pandemic in mainland China, the government of China pursued a zero-COVID strategy to prevent the domestic spread of COVID-19. The government of China has also responded to the pandemic with censorship,^[1]^[2] secrecy,^[3]^[4] and misinformation.^[5]^[6]

China was the first country to experience what would become the COVID-19 pandemic. After discovery of a cluster of patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan, Hubei Province, a public notice on the outbreak was distributed on 31 December 2019.^[7] On 8 January 2020, a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was announced by Chinese scientists as the cause of the new disease.^[8]
