Part of Spotify’s appeal can be attributed to the user- and brand-curated playlists, which can be shared publicly or between friends.

The surface of the virus is covered with spike proteins, which enable it to bind to human cells. Once attached, the virus can enter the cells and start to make people ill. These spikes were of particular interest to vaccine manufacturers because they hold the key to preventing viral entry.

Annual change of vehicle sales in China 2010-2020
This graph shows the annual change in vehicle sales in China until 2020. In 2020, car sales in China had decreased by 1.9 percent compared to the previous year. Vehicle sales growth in China With a sales volume of approximately 25 million motor vehicles, China was the worlds’ largest market for automobiles. Vis-à-vis U.S. car market in the same year, about eleven million units more had been sold in China. This boom in domestic market demand could be explained by China’s spectacular economic growth, which in terms is expressed by the formation of a prosperous middle class. China as a major car manufacturer China had also become the world’s biggest automobile producer since 2017, with a share of some 27 percent of total global passenger vehicles produced in mainland China. The economic reforms of the early 1980s required foreign carmakers to form joint ventures with domestic auto producers in China. Over the past decades, a couple of large independent domestic auto brands have emerged. However, domestic carmakers generally lack technological know-how and market access when compared to their foreign rivals. As a result, foreign automakers generally enjoy larger market shares and higher profit margins in China. Overseas, Chinese autos tend to be sold to other developing countries where selling prices seem to a major determinant to consumers’ decisions.

GDP growth rate of African countries 2020, by country
During 2020, Libya's GDP is estimated to have decreased by 66.7 percent, an enormous drop.

The Gross Domestic Product of Mauritius, Zimbabwe, and Seychelles experienced a decrease by over ten percent, ranking among the countries witht the largest drop in GDP growth rate in Africa as well as worldwide. The Libyan economy is very much dependent on the oil sector. In Libya, oil rents normally account for over 40 percent of the GDP.
