There are still four days until the Chinese New Year, and today is the last working day before the Spring Festival.
Although there is still inspection work today, there is only one inspector working far away.
This year, the time for employees to return home was a week earlier than in previous years, resulting in insufficient staff before the Spring Festival Holiday, unable to meet all work needs, and some work was forced to be postponed until after the Spring Festival holiday.
In fact, it is not the reason of our company that the employees return home early, but because many production factories are out of work, and most of the factories have early holidays, and our employees have to leave early because have to go with their families who take early vacations.
The phenomenon of returning home early just reflects the current economic situation in China. In 2022, China’s failures in diplomacy, politics, and COVID-19 prevention and control policies have caused a rapid economic decline. Many factories had no orders, which led to the fact that many factories had no work and were forced to take an early holiday since December last year.
China supports Russia diplomatically and confronts Western countries, politically shows a tough attitude towards Western countries (implementing the so-called wolf warrior diplomacy), and implements almost crazy strict epidemic control measures throughout 2022, resulting in the supply chain was broken and export orders plummeted.
This series of reasons led to the rapid decline of China’s economy. By the end of 2022, because the local government has been unable to pay the huge epidemic prevention expenditure, the “Zero Covid” policy have to be terminated. However, the unprepared release of the epidemic prevention has caused more than 80% of the people to be infected with COVID-19, and the enterprises cannot produce normally because most of the employees are sick and ask for leave, which further exacerbates the speed of the economic downturn.
The Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. but this year, how many Chinese people have fallen into the abyss of broken families because of bankruptcy? How many Chinese people are in a state of dazed panic because of losing their jobs? How many Chinese people are still silent in the pain of the death of their loved ones infected with COVID-19? How many Chinese people can still be happy?
