• Premier Li had suggested newly jobless could become vendors
• Beijing authorities say street economy ‘not suitable’

U turn from Beijing

China appears to be backtracking on its recent efforts to promote street vending as a way to reboot the coronavirus-stricken economy, less than two weeks after Premier Li Keqiang made a high-profile pitch to get people back into the traditional form of commerce.

Following a surge of interest in the topic on social media and sharp gains for local stocks associated with equipment needed to sell food on the street, local governments and state media over the weekend damped expectations that the kind of informal street selling once ubiquitous in China would be welcomed back wholesale.

A Saturday commentary by Beijing Daily, the official newspaper of the Beijing municipal government, labeled the “street stall economy” as unsuitable for the capital, and said the city hasn’t relaxed rules on peddlers. Other state media followed suit, with some editorials arguing that there were many problems including food hygiene and product quality.

With China facing its worst economic slump since the 1970s this year, the government is pushing to keep workers in jobs and laid-off employees diverted into retraining or other sectors. At the same time, the premier’s endorsement of street selling at the National People’s Congress last month raised eyebrows, as it’s a form of commerce at odds with President Xi Jinping’s vision of China as a developed, high-tech superpower.

Beijing city authorities rejects calls for allowing roadside stalls to return, saying they are ‘unsuitable’ for city

• Premier Li Keqiang had touted the ‘vendor economy’ as a way of helping the post-coronavirus recovery, but municipal authorities say this does not fit their plans
• Editorial in local party mouthpiece says allowing ‘unhygienic and uncivilised’ features of urban life would undermine efforts to improve the capital

The Beijing authorities have snubbed a call by Premier Li Keqiang to bring back roadside stalls saying they are “not suitable” for the capital.


Li personally endorsed the plan to revive the “vendor economy” at the annual legislative meeting last month, saying they were “important sources of employment” that would help get the economy back on track.


But an editorial published in Beijing Daily, the mouthpiece of the municipal authorities, said: “Beijing should not and cannot develop economies that do not fit in the strategic positioning of the capital city.


“Roaming vendors and roadside stalls will put visible pressure on urban management, the environment, hygiene and traffic.”

It's also a perverse form of revenge: to out-Mao Chairman Mao.
