- Abstract
Significant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were detected in multiple sectors of the Chinese market during its 2020 outbreak in Wuhan, where most non-medical sectors were reported to be adversely affected. Although later, the “dynamic clearance strategy” adopted by the Chinese government produced an overall satisfactory outcome for the country's economic recovery, another large-scale outbreak of the Omicron variant took place in Shanghai, causing the local economy to suffer again from the pandemic. In this paper, we aim to examine and compare the impact of the two significant lockdowns (Wuhan & Shanghai) in China on the major sectors of the Chinese industry. Our study demonstrates an overall diminishing effect of the pandemic and the lockdown policies, which is considered to be in line with a rise in the market anticipation. The background investigation and literature review part (Section 1) was completed by Zhou; the suggestions (Section 4) were provided by Pan; the data, methodology and analysis parts (Section 2 &3) were carried out by Dong.
