China’s envoy: China to see strong economic rebound after coronavirus

China’s ambassador to Canada Cong Peiwu told Reuters on Wednesday, China will stage a quick economic rebound once the new coronavirus outbreak has passed because it is still fundamentally healthy.

Key quotes:

The impact on the Chinese economy will be temporary and short lived.

Hopefully across the nation we’ll see a strong rebound in the not-too-distant future.

After several weeks of fighting against this disease, the message is that COVID-19 is a virus that can be contained.

It’s a common challenge. We have to fight against the disease together.
