The "ultra-long Golden Week" holiday that just passed, Chinese not only had a "New Year's flavor", but also hundreds of millions of trips were "the dream of other countries".
This Golden Week, domestic tourists traveled 637 million times, the National Day box office exceeded 3.9 billion yuan, and the consumption amount in the first seven days of November exceeded 2 trillion yuan... CNN reported on China's Golden Week on October 7 with the tourist-filled Great Wall as a picture, saying that "a few months ago, such a scene could not have been imagined." This picture is the epitome of China's vigorous recovery after 9 months of epidemic prevention and control.
National Day meets Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese this "ultra-long Golden Week" not only has a "New Year's flavor", but also attracted global attention. The New York Times reported on the 1st that Chinese is pouring into cars, trains, scenic spots, doing "what the people of many other countries dream of", and this is "a clear signal that China is recovering from the epidemic". The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) published an article on the 1st that the "crowd" composed of hundreds of millions of people is the protagonist of China's "Golden Week". India's The Print website said on the 7th that after 9 months of the outbreak, almost 500 million Chinese began to vacation and enjoy the Golden Week holiday. Yahoo News Australia Channel released a crowded photo on the wall of Xi'an Ancient City on the 8th, reporting that Twitter users around the world were "shocked" by these photos of China Golden Week, "which is a clear signal that China has recovered from the epidemic."
It is true that the remarkable results of epidemic prevention and control are the confidence of hundreds of millions of people to travel in concentration. "China's experience shows that once the outbreak is under control, consumption will rebound quickly," the New York Times said. CNN pointed out that the premise for Chinese people to go on vacation during Golden Week is that "China has controlled the epidemic." In addition, many foreign netizens gave the same analysis on Twitter: "China controls the epidemic, and the United States ignores the epidemic, which has caused the difference now." "That's the reward of people's strict compliance with prevention and control measures." "I'm pretty sure this is the result of reasonable prevention and control!"
Looking around the world, the epidemic is still spreading, the economy continues to be sluggish, and the warmth released by China's relevant data on this Golden Week has made the world see the momentum and hope of economic recovery. Nihon Keizai Shimbun observed that under the atmosphere of "retaliatory tourism", China's domestic travel has recovered to 70%-80% of the same period last year, the popularity of Wuhan has soared, and the business of Hainan duty-free shops is booming. The US Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC) quoted analysts as saying on the 5th that the strong rebound of China's economy will also benefit Asian economies.
Of course, in the context of the global pandemic that has not yet eased, it will take a longer process for the economy and society to fully return to the normal level before the epidemic. But at the very least, the consumption boom during China's Golden Week sends a positive signal of economic recovery, and a vibrant "mobile China" gives the world hope of getting out of the haze of the epidemic.
