HONG KONG/SHANGHAI -- Just a month ago, Danny Lau was concerned that he might miss the deadline for deliveries to a U.S. client, as he was unable to reopen his aluminum facade panel factory in the southern Chinese city of Dongguan due to the coronavirus outbreak then ravaging the country.
Now that 80% of his employees have returned to work, Lau's concern is that he might not receive enough orders to sustain the payroll.
