The two-part case presents a fictional scenario for a negotiation exercise. It is the year of the biggest challenge that humanity has faced since the great world wars: the pandemic unleashed by a new strain of coronavirus. In the midst of a pandemic, vaccines are sought after globally. This is a multi-issue negotiation between two countries–Jeewan which has developed the CORO-PROTECT vaccine, and Elysia which hopes to manufacture the vaccine and procure it for its vulnerable population. Several variables are at play such as an upcoming election, the need for raw materials for the vaccine, production support, and other diplomatic considerations.

As an important part of the informal economy, street vending has a long history in China. Although it plays an important role in maintaining the livelihoods of rural migrants and low-income groups, the Chinese government's policy towards street vending has been changing over time. Under the impact of COVID-19, China has revived this group to stimulate employment, and proposed the concept of "street vendor economy". However, there are a series of problems to be solved. This case study goes in four parts. First, the background section introduces the profile of vendors in China and the inconsistent regulatory policies in different periods- socialist transformation (1949-1977), Chinese reform and opening up (1978-1989), inter-urban competition (1990-2019), and COVID-19 era (2020). Next, the drivers behind street vending under normal situations and COVID-19 outbreak will be illustrated in detail. The third part is to explore the problems of street vending: worsening competition, dilemma for authority and damaging city image, followed by the policy option in light of Singapore’s experience in the final section.
