Finance, Accounting and Law in the Digital Age

Abstract

While the coronavirus outbreak has been relatively stable in China, the proportion of infections in other countries has risen rapidly internationally, at a time when the pandemic has had a huge economic impact on global value chains and even caused tourism disruption. In the process of fighting the epidemic, China was the first to adopt strict and effective personnel control measures to prevent its large-scale spread, but even so, the impact of the epidemic will continue while the output will be sharply reduced. How China’s economy can adapt to local conditions to achieve the transformation of a resilient economic system under different circumstances will be a process of sudden convergence and conflict between theory and reality.
