Business Tianjin OUT! April 2020 Edition 《津衛商務》2020年四月刊出刊啦！

While China is rejecting claims of an inaccurate coronavirus death tally in Wuhan, there are over 1,000,000 cases of coronavirus globally, and this number will probably reach more than 2 or 3 million if governments don’t take decisive actions to combat the spread of the coronavirus as the crisis begins in each country. Good examples to follow have been South Korea and Japan, and even China. So far, almost 55,000 people have died worldwide from the virus.

The coronavirus is also wreaking havoc on China’s economy and the global economy at large, and the final costs of the virus are not yet fully known. The real numbers will emerge after the catastrophe has been contained. Until then, the Chinese government and other governments around the world are doing what they can to ensure that we exit this tragedy with minimal losses.

We recently talked with the founder of Admiral Farragut Academy China, Mr. Xiaoke (Chuck) Yang, who told us about his passion in life and his strong commitment to developing his career in education. His main aim is to help the young generation in China become global citizens. He believes in seeking truth, and that there is only one reality, and he wants to encourage people to push for social reforms and advancement in society. He realized after studying for his journalism career that he could have an impact on young people by working in education and showing them how knowledge and expertise could change the world. 

Don’t miss the Last Words column, where our columnist Leoni tells us about her experience during her quarantine and isolation period after coming back from her home country a few days ago to resume her work. She was very lucky to have arrived in Tianjin on the last day that it was allowed for individuals to do the self-isolation in their own apartments.

As Michael Hart says in his Real Estate column, we are all happy that since the virus now seems to be under control in China, we can go back out and see our friends and colleagues and visit our favourite restaurants. However, he predicts that over the next few months or years, many of us may also not be looking to return completely to our pre-virus routines.
