Economy not in danger
疫情面前，中国经济韧性仍在。
It has been nearly two months since the first case of novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒) was found in Wuhan. As most people stay at home and many industries delay (推迟) their work, some people worry that this might affect China’s economy (经济).
As China Daily reported, the epidemic (疫情) has directly harmed some of China’s main industries. For example, the tourism industry has been affected, as some foreign countries have set restrictions (限制) on people traveling from China and many airlines have canceled flights to and from China. Also, since many Chinese factories, such as those that make car parts, have delayed their work, companies that rely on their products have been affected as well.
“Despite the temporary (临时的) influence on the Chinese economy, the outbreak won’t affect the economy’s mid- to long-term fundamentals (基础),” said Tang Jianwei, chief researcher at the Financial Research Center of the Bank of Communications.
China is making efforts to step up production and resume (恢复) work. As of Feb 10, 94.6 percent of food-producing and processing (加工) companies in China had resumed work, according to Cong Liang, secretary-general of the National Development and Reform Commission.
Moreover, the digital (数字的) economy is becoming more active. As people are unable to go outdoors, they are turning to digital entertainment by watching films and TV shows online. Some office workers are working at home by using teleconferencing software (电话会议软件). Platforms like Tencent and Ali Health are providing online medical consultation services to allow people to get medical help without leaving home.
These technologies are helping people go on with their daily lives and keep them safe. They are also lifting the digital economy to a new high, China Daily reported.
“We are confident that China’s economy remains resilient (适应力强的),” IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said in an online post.
