May 7, 2020 Welcome to this edition of The Reader, your weekly roundup of Fortune stories and insights you need to know.
How to reopen—that's the question many businesses face as the world reels from the pandemic. For a blueprint, they may look to East Asia: After months of lockdown, Shanghai Disneyland is reopening, live pro sports in Taiwan and South Korea are broadcasting, and Chinese office workers are returning to their desks. But life after lockdown remains an anxious affair for all.
Over the next few months, we'll be reporting on how businesses are rebooting for our How to Reopen project. Sign up here to receive updates on our stories.
I hope you have a safe and healthy week. Clifton Leaf

“The Chinese government may consider sending out stimulus checks like the U.S. did during its last recession to give a temporary boost to consumer spending. For a longer term fix, the government should allow wages to slowly rise across the country or possibly institute a minimum wage so that more people can afford to buy the things that they have been making all these years. Of course, these policies should be balanced and introduced gradually to ensure that the gains in consumer spending aren’t eaten up by inflation.” —China's consumers need stimulus checks by Cyrus Sanati, April 2012 .
