    A Kiwi in Shanghai says as their lockdown grinds on ... it's not good for New Zealand business

    A Kiwi in Shanghai says as their lockdown grinds on ... it's not good for New Zealand business


    The Chinese city has been in lockdown since last month, and recently tightened restrictions further still.

    It's having knock-on effects for Kiwis, including Hunter McGregor, whose business sells New Zealand venison to Shanghai restaurants.

    McGregor says the 43 days of lockdown has meant his business has completely dried up.

    He says they haven't sold anything for six weeks, and he can't see demand soaring after lockdown lifts.
