Taipei, Taiwan (AP) — Digital censors said Monday the hashtag “Next 5” as online discussions swirled in response to reported statements. "Year" was deleted quickly. Beijing's Communist Party secretary said the capital would normalize pandemic prevention management over the next five years.
Beijing Communist Party chief Cai Qi said Monday morning as part of a report on the party's city administration.

The current version of the Beijing Daily no longer has the phrase "next five years." Weibo has removed the hashtag "Next 5 Years".

Since the surge in cases caused by Omicron variants in April, China has made mass testing requirements even more frequent. In Beijing, residents must perform a negative test within the last 72 hours to enter public places, including restaurants and offices.
The government has promoted the establishment of thousands of test spots that could be wiped off throughout the city.
During the pandemic, China has insisted on a "clear to zero" or "zero corona" strategy. It relies on extensive testing, monitoring, and strict blockade to prevent the virus from spreading widely to the community.
