Relationship between the Health and Wellness Commission and the CDC
From the level and nature of the two units alone, their powers and functions differ greatly. The NHSC is a functionary of the State Council and has the authority to dictate health and wellness across the country, including guiding local policies on prevention and control of new crown epidemics.
Local governments in the epidemic prevention and control policies or health and other aspects of the work is not in place, the NHRC has the right to supervise accountability or notification, and can even interview local government leaders. And the CDC is just a business unit under the supervision of the NHRC, not even one of the 21 departments and bureaus with authority like the Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention.
So the CDC is not authorized to directly oversee local prevention and control policies. But CDC members are basically academicians in various fields, and the programs and guidelines they develop, and the monitoring and evaluation they do, often play an important role in the NHRC's decision-making, for example, on disease prevention and control.
