Street vendors were prohibited in China, but the authority now encourages people to set up open-air stalls as part of the post-coronavirus economic plan. Like many other parts of the country, street vendors and restaurants in Sichuan now can set up stalls and outside dining without license or worrying about the Urban Administration Bureau, known as “Chengguan.”
Due to the outbreak of coronavirus, China’s economy shrank 6.8% in the first quarter compared with a year ago.
