Farzad Farhad and Giulia Ravasi, two young foreigners doing business in China, chose to continue their businesses in China even during the COVID-19 pandemic. They do not regret their decisions, as Chinese government's measures to contain the pandemic have further boosted their confidence in China's economy.

Farzad Farhad from Afghanistan created an e-commerce platform which introduces the products of small microelectronic enterprises along the eastern coast of China to overseas consumers.

In 2019, Giulia Ravasi, an Italian, set up a company which imports European craft beer to China and also carries out consulting services for companies in China and abroad.
