CHINA HAS RECOVERED FOR ITS COVID SHOCK, WHILE THE WORLD IT EXPORTED IT TO IS STILL REELING.
China has kicked off Golden Week, the annual spree of shopping and travel built around the Oct. 1 National Day celebrations, and the first major holiday
since the country brought its coronavirus outbreak more or less under control.
Each year, the weeklong holiday is a closely watched barometer of China’s economic health, and that’s even truer this year. Early signs seem to confirm two trends: The country has returned to
normalcy far more than others around the world, and yet the ripple effects of the pandemic are hard to shake off.
Hotels are full and tickets to tourist attraction are sold out. Most years, millions of Chinese people go overseas, but this year they will mostly travel
domestically. China’s official tourism research institute predicts that 550 million domestic trips will be made, less than last year but a significant number. “The energy has been pent-up for too long,” said Lisa Li, a manager at a Shanghai travel agency.
