Asthma is a serious health problem affecting people of all ages worldwide. To address asthma, the Global Initiative for Asthma Expert Group published the Global Strategy for Asthma Management and Prevention in 1995, and an updated version (GINA 2022) with new evidence being incorporated, on the World Asthma Day, May 3, 2022. Asthma prevalence is increasing but is unsatisfactorily controlled generally in China. We mainly interpreted the update points in the GINA 2022, discussed the management of asthma during the COVID-19 pandemic, and assessed the significance of the GINA 2022 for the diagnosis and treatment of asthma in China.
