The coronavirus has had an enormous impact on the global business market. Multinational businesses from supply chains to automobile makers, tourism, and the film industry have been feeling the slump that has occurred due to the coronavirus outbreak. Airlines have canceled 25,000 flights to and within China after ticket sales collapsed, according to travel data provider OAG.

General Motors and other automakers are telling employees to limit travel to China, which is their biggest market. Big-time moneymakers such as casinos are closing. Hyundai motors said it is suspending production in South Korea due to disruptions in the supply of parts as a result of the outbreak.

International companies rely on China as a buyer of food, cars, movie tickets, and other goods. Right now, in China, companies are taking a significant hit due to coronavirus.

Coronavirus has greatly impacted all of the economies around the world, including China's. One industry that has impacted by the virus in China is the airline industry, for early on, flights in and out of the country were halted. During the lockdown, ticket sales have also gone down because people were unable to travel. Ticket cancellations and refund requests increased.

The automotive industry has also been impacted by the virus, as motor companies had to suspend production. Many of the prominent companies such as Apple and Nike produce their products in China, so with China's country being on lockdown, it has had a ripple effect on other countries in the world.

Coronavirus affected the economy of China greatly. It is true that China has the second-largest economy in the world, which means that it will be more resilient against this problem as compared to other countries. Still, it is obvious that they are still affected. There are some areas of China like Wuhan, where the virus originated, which had to be placed in total lockdown.

This means that the people in Wuhan who have relied on their own businesses and jobs did not have any means in order to make enough money. The government has supplied them with their needs, which means that the government also had to spend money. Other places in China have also become affected by the virus, which caused the economy of China to drop.

A lot of people are saying that the Coronavirus has affected China a lot. Some parts of the country particularly Wuhan has been placed under strict lockdown. This means that people were not allowed to leave their homes in order not to spread the virus further. A lot of money was spent by the government to ensure that the virus will be kept under control.

China is the world’s number two in terms of economy and due to the pandemic, its economy has definitely been affected. There are a lot of small businesses that were affected by the virus. Even large companies were forced to close down especially since they are not considered to be essential.

Airlines have terminated 25,000 flights to and within China after ticket sales have ceased. Automakers are urging their employees to limit travel to China. Casinos and other forms of entertainment have been halted. Hyanidi motors said it is suspending production in South Korea due to its interruptions in the allocation of parts as a result of the outbreak.

International companies have been depending on China, which is the world’s second-biggest economy. This situation includes food, cars, movie tickets, and other goods. That reliance has left companies vulnerable to the downturn of this economic slump.

China currently accounts for more than 16 percent of worldwide monetary activity. The lockdown has certainly slowed things down. It has also extended to other parts of Hubei province. It impedes the natural flow of supply and demand, and in turn, damages their economy in the long run. Restaurants, transport providers, hotels, and shops are experiencing hard times.
