According to the YiTrackers April update issued by Yimian, a V-shaped economy recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be gaining ground in China. Its online marketplace grew by 29.1% over last year, and by 5.4% over March. This is in contrast to a month-over-month decline of 2.7% in April last year.
