Abstract: This study aims to discuss how China’s top leadership team’s (CTLT) cognitive framework helped them quickly minimize the impact of COVID-19 and enter economic recovery. We find that cognitive framework of CTLT based on Yin-Yang philosophy balancing exerted the following effects: (1) It helped CTLT determine the relative significance of COVID-19 control and economic recovery from a higher level goal of Chinese people’s life and health. (2) It helped CTLT determine opportunities conducive to economic recovery from COVID-19. (3) It helped Chinese leaders quickly identify the central paradox in COVID-19 and mobilize the available resources to address it.
