Based on the interview material, the article examines changes in the life and work of Chinese migrants who are focused on long-term residence and doing business In Russia. It was revealed that the impact of the pandemic, usually negatively assessed by experts at the macro and the micro levels, led to structural changes in ethnic business and the adaptation of migrants to new challenges: someone's financial side changed for the better, someone went bankrupt, and someone did not notice a significant difference, except for the change in the way of rendering service. We consider the consequences, highlighted by us, in three main areas: changes in the economic situation of migrants and in the structure of Chinese entrepreneurship, the transfer of economic activity to the virtual space and changes in social well-being and life plans.
