In 2020, the worst-hit industry is cross-border e-commerce, no doubt about it!

A month ago, the worst-hit industries were the catering, hotel and tourism industries. News that major catering companies were on the verge of bankruptcy spread throughout the circle of friends, but with the improvement of the domestic epidemic situation, these industries have shown a gradual recovery trend.
