The concept of people's interests is a tenet that the Chinese Communist Party has always adhered to, and the ideas of governance of the country's successive leaders have provided it with a theoretical basis. In the contrast of the differences in the results of the anti-COVID-19 between China and the West, the discussion of privileges and human rights from the perspective of the people's interests makes the principle of the supremacy of people's interests that our party adheres to more prominent. Exploring the concept of people's interests in the post-COVID-19 era will not only help prevent and control the COVID-19, but also promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.
