This chapter devoted to the analysis of the situation in China consists of two parts. The first one written by a well-known Chinese sociologist, Professor Liu Depei, Major General of PLA (retired), represents a kind of literary essay about the fighting against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus at the very beginning of the pandemic, during the first days and even hours. This personal story may help to evaluate the situation of complete uncertainty on the first days of the pandemic all of us have already forgotten now. But to remember the first moods and the first steps is a very important thing, partly for avoidance of new crises during possible epidemics in the future and the panic associated with them. General Liu looks at the problem from the inside, that helps to understand the worries, moods and feelings of Chinese people during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The second part was written by a Russian sinologist, Professor Sergey Komissarov, who supplemented the work of his friend and colleague with some objective information and figures. In the second part, Prof Komissarov gives us an opportunity to look at the problem from the outside. Taken together, these two parts help to get a picture of the China’s methods to deal with the pandemic and related coronacrisis.
