If Shanghai Communist Party chief Li Qiang has been politically bruised by the city's struggle to tame a COVID-19 outbreak that has infuriated residents and caused severe economic damage, there is little sign of it.
A close ally of President Xi Jinping for decades, Li has long been seen as destined for the powerful Politburo Standing Committee this year, tracking a well-worn path from Shanghai's top spot that many analysts say appears safe despite the city's COVID crisis.
Li, 62, has not been directly associated in public with the "slice-and-grid" approach to fighting COVID, in which Shanghai authorities sought to isolate the coronavirus in specific neighbourhoods to allow the city as a whole to avoid a disruptive lockdown. Li and the Communist Party's Organisation Department, which is in charge of personnel, did not respond to requests for comment.
Alfred Wu, associate professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore, said officials elsewhere "would've been gone by now". Although the city still reports thousands of COVID cases daily, the Standing Committee said on Thursday it believes the party can "surely win the battle of Shanghai", powered by Xi's COVID policy.
