In fact, it was in June that our web studio also started losing foreign clients - several of them directly said that working with us was too risky, so they found new contractors.
Why risky? I suspect they were simply afraid that china telegram data we would simply stop working and not want to return the money, because the "Force Majeure" clause in the contracts formally allowed us to do this without any sanctions.
