How Prepared Is China?

?

Unknown

China has not volunteered to have an external, transparent evaluation of its ability to find, stop and prevent health threats. Without this transparent assessment, we cannot be certain they are ready to find, stop and prevent epidemics. Without this, we have no independent way of knowing their level of preparedness.

China has finished their National Action Plan and is working on improving epidemic preparedness in one or more gap areas.
