'World's Supermarket' returns as epidemic eases in China


During the back-to-work season, a lot of migrant workers have been unable to return to work, and thus, many enterprises in Yiwu are short of employees. - AFP

HANGZHOU (Xinhua): After a short hiatus in business due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the Yiwu International Trade Market, the world's leading small commodities market, has sprung back to life as the epidemic has been subdued in China.

Located in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang, the city of Yiwu, home to over 2 million medium-, small- and micro-sized firms, sells commodities to about 200 countries and regions every year and is therefore dubbed the 'World's Supermarket.'
