Fearful of causing further harm to an economy laid low by the coronavirus epidemic, authorities in China have become a lot more lenient dealing with entrepreneurs breaking the law.
"Not arresting and not prosecuting means firms can still operate, and still have leeway to be rescued," said a court official in Zhejiang, a coastal province with a vibrant private sector. Leniency has become the order of the day, though the central government has been calling for better treatment of private business for years.
Earlier this month, a Taiwanese factory manager and his company's Taiwanese legal representative received a warning for conspiring to smuggle in Vietnamese workers into their plant in the eastern province of Fujian, according to a local government-backed paper. Had they been tried and convicted, they could have faced up to seven years imprisonment.
As new infection rates subsided, authorities gave the all clear for industry to get back to work, but many companies are still wobbling back to life.
