Editor's NoteThis is an excerpt of a report provided by Shanghai Institutes for International Studies. Founded in 1960, the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies(SIIS) is a government-affiliated high-caliber think tank dedicated to informing government decision-making by conducting policy-oriented studies in world politics, economics, foreign policy, and international security. SIIS maintains intensive and extensive exchanges and cooperation with research institutions at home and abroad, bolstering China's international influence and soft power. The war against COVID-19 epidemic has come to a critical moment. Currently, there are two major views on when the turning point will be. Prudent optimists think that it will come sometime between Feb 10 to 15, right after China's Lantern Festival. ▲ Photo by Zhu Xingxin/China DailyAccording to Professor Zhong Nanshan, academi
