I have never lived in China but I was there 2-3 times per year, for 10 days to 2 weeks per stay. I have not been since October of 2019. No way I can or will go to quarantine for 2+ weeks before being able to start doing business.
I always went in April and October around the Canton Fair. I don't see any way April of 2022 happens. And I doubt October of 2022 happens. Maybe April of 2023? Maybe but highly questionable at this point.
CCP knows that quarantine is the pain point of travelers, business or leisure. It would be easy for them to fine-tune the number of days according to their willingness to let aliens in (see the circus of HK entry rules as an example)…
I for one would consider 3-5 day quarantine for important business meeting, 7-10 days for reuniting with loved ones… we all have our own threshold, but rules can change dramatically when immigration policies flip. Call me an optimistic, but I want to think these quarantine centers can be used for this purpose
