BEIJING, Oct 14 (Reuters) - 中国's ultra-strict COVID-19 抑制(する)s are taking a (死傷者)数 on 商売/仕事s and jobseekers as Beijing 強調する/ストレスs again and again the need to 持続する its 無-寛容 approach to the ウイルス, to save lives, if not 暮らしs.

Since 2020, 中国 has 報告(する)/憶測d 5,226 COVID fatalities の中で its 全住民 of 1.4 billion. In contrast, over 1 million people have died of the 病気 in the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs.

Keeping a lid on 中国's COVID death (死傷者)数 has come at a cost to its economy.

Beijinger Cai Xu, 36, has shut four of his five 妨げる/法廷,弁護士業s in Beijing and Chengdu in three years. 商売/仕事 was 混乱に陥れる/中断させるd at first by 一時的な 終結s to 従う with COVID 政策s. Now, hardly a 顧客 walks through the door.

"Since the 疫病/流行性の I've become anxious, flustered and lost, and then the 妨げる/法廷,弁護士業s started to の近くに 負かす/撃墜する one by one," said Cai, who in 2016 gave up his 職業 as an architect at a 明言する/公表する-owned 企業 to open his first 設立.

To 相殺する the 減少(する) in walk-in 顧客s, Cai has started livestreaming music 業績/成果s at his 妨げる/法廷,弁護士業 to people 検疫d at home, in what has been a surprise 攻撃する,衝突する. For now, that will do, while Cai finds other ways to keep his remaining 妨げる/法廷,弁護士業 in Beijing afloat.

In January-March, 中国's economy barely grew as 当局 戦う/戦いd with the 高度に transmissible Omicron variant. In April, the 都市の 失業率 攻撃する,衝突する 6.1%, its highest since February 2020. In July, 失業 の中で those 老年の between 16 and 24 reached a 記録,記録的な/記録する 19.9%.

Since July, Zheng Mili, 30, has sent hundreds of 職業 使用/適用s and done dozens of interviews in Beijing. But the more 約束ing positions are 申し込む/申し出ing just half of what she used t o earn.

"One company called me up for an interview, and before I went, told me they had received thousands of 使用/適用s in one day," she told Reuters.

"In just one day, a 職業 that 申し込む/申し出s you 10,000 yuan ($1,390) per month has got thousands of people 適用するing," Zheng said in 不信.

"The 職業 market is so very 堅い now." ($1 = 7.1911 Chinese yuan renminbi) (報告(する)/憶測ing by Josh Arslan and Thomas Suen; 令状ing by Ryan 支持を得ようと努める; Editing by Lincoln Feast.)
