Almost 11 million test results were delivered in around five days in the city of Qingdao earlier this month.

The highly orchestrated strategy – described as “overkill” even by its own proponents – is unique among major economies at a time when Europe and the US are facing a massive surge of new cases and often chaotic policies. Authorities have unimpeded access to personal information as part of an expansive surveillance network, which has played a major role in tracing infections.

The system, like all Chinese Communist blueprints, is highly structured around specific targets; testing teams should be able to complete a campaign within seven days.
