Foreign staff at EU firms in Shanghai still unable to return, business group says

SHANGHAI: Over half of European companies in China's financial hub of Shanghai still have foreign staff who are unable to return after coronavirus border restrictions were imposed in March, a survey indicated on Thursday .

"Securing the return of foreign nationals to Shanghai is critical to restoring normality for our member companies, especially SMEs," said Carlo D'Andrea, vice president and the Shanghai chairman of the European Chamber. The Shanghai city government and the Chinese foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Having managed to curb domestic transmission of the coronavirus, China now regards cases imported from abroad as the biggest threat and has relaxed its rules only to allow some business travel from South Korea, Germany and Singapore.
