Beijing, China – For Li Pei, keeping two businesses running during China’s lockdowns has been no easy task.
At Li’s solar panel business in Shanghai, staff have been working remotely to achieve sales quotas since the city went into lockdown in late March. Meanwhile, Li’s kindergarten in Beijing’s Haidian district is temporarily closed, after already struggling for months to attract new students following last year’s announcement of the “double reduction” policy, which aims to ease pressure on students by restricting private tutoring and after-school institutions.
