The global supply chain Armageddon is happening. The economies of the world are more interconnected than ever. There are many 'single points of failure' in these complex and global operations, of which many of them originate in China.

A new poll via Shanghai's American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) discovered that 50% of US firms operating in China say shutdowns of factories have impacted their global operations due to the Covid-19 outbreak, reported Reuters.

About 78% of these firms warn that their staffing is currently short at the moment, which would prevent the resumption of full production, leading to massive shortages of products in the next several months for Western markets.

Many of these companies, about 109 in total, have operations in Shanghai, Suzhou, Nanjing, and across the Yangtze River Delta, are regions currently experiencing mass quarantine of citizens, industrial hubs shuttered, and transportation networks halted.

760+ million Chinese are forced into sheltering in place. I said a week ago that the supply chain imploding was worse than the virus.

The president should outright tell Americans to get supplies this week to ride it out. And then shut most everything down. The virus infection rate will dramatically fall off and we will be able to cope.

Lose small or lose big? I choose lose small.

Foxcon still shut down,and the government is considering orders to keep it that way.Never mind...they gave the order earlier today,just hit appleinsider 15 minutes ago.

Authorities order Foxconn to keep Chinese facilities closed ... the ongoing coronavirus threat, and how the date for reopening stores is still to be determined.

Patriarchy’s warriors political risk assessment


[link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)]

A combination of cultural preferences, government decree and modern medical technology in the world’s two largest countries has created a gender imbalance on a continental scale. Men outnumber women by 70 million in China and India.

The consequences of having too many men, now coming of age, are far-reaching: Beyond an epidemic of loneliness, the imbalance distorts labor markets, drives up savings rates in China and drives down consumption, artificially inflates certain property values, and parallels increases in violent crime, trafficking or prostitution in a growing number of locations.

Those consequences are not confined to China and India, but reach deep into their Asian neighbors and distort the economies of Europe and the Americas, as well. Barely recognized, the ramifications of too many men are only starting to come into sight.

“In the future, there will be millions of men who can’t marry, and that could pose a very big risk to society,” warns Li Shuzhuo, a leading demographer at Xi’an Jiaotong University.

The imbalance creates a surplus of bachelors and exacerbates human trafficking, both for brides and, possibly, prostitution. Officials attribute this to the advent of sex-selective technology in the last 30 years, which is now banned but still in widespread practice.

In the two countries, 50 million excess males are under age 20.

Re: The GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN ARMAGEDDON is happening!!
why the fuck do we even need 'an economy'?

the 'economy' is just a giant elaborate system for sucking the life energy out of your soul for their own gain.

all i need is a fucking house, a few years worth of food, which a non exploitative system could produce easily with modern technology.

Re: The GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN ARMAGEDDON is happening!!
Intelligent corporations have diversified their supply chain long ago. I call BS on some of this story, which is possibly intended for consumers to accept price increases and also consumer runs, which is a big business in itself. A little adrenaline rush for the economy...

That being said, the supply chain for fat corporations has slowed down on some consumables, but 2nd tier businesses should be able to pick up the slack and make a killing. The sooner corporations deglobalize + diversify, the better.

China, by the way, is no longer the cheapest place to manufacture products.

Re: The GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN ARMAGEDDON is happening!!
A friend today took a car to a dealership (I know they are expensive) - anyway, they were told they needed a new muffler, new brakes and roters (sp?) and a transfer case and something else (the transfer case and something else amounted to $400, the total estimate was $3,000. Sounds high to me and to them.

Wondering if car dealership/garages are getting their money while they can since new stock may be slow to come into the US, if at all?

Last year I had to have some work done on my A/C. Local shop quoted me about $2600, they only use manufacturers parts and charge shop manual time no matter how long it takes. They couldn't get to it for a week so I tried the dealer. The dealer did it the next day (Saturday) for under $900, they had an aftermarket compressor sitting on the shelf (it was the same manufacturer that makes the OEM parts). Also the dealer checked to make sure the compressor blades hadn't disintegrated so they didn't replace a bunch of other stuff downstream from it. Local guy was just going to replace all that stuff because "the compressor blades always blow up".

Or he did a recharge on it with materials that cost him all of ten bucks, and you didn't notice cause you never look at stuff under there and all he did was wash the components.
And if it was a small leak, you will not notice it for 2-3 years and by then you will either sell the car, or forget and just think that it is just an old car. Dealers almost never carry "after market" parts. They only carry regular stock parts from their own sources.

Re: The GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN ARMAGEDDON is happening!!
This is why monopolies are not good for society nor the economy. What happens when that one company that makes all the world's widgets in China closes down due to a pandemic or other natural disaster. You have no other supplier to fall back on. The politicians and business people who off shored all our manufacturing to China are traitors with no loyalty to the countries that made them what they are today. It's like disowning your family when you make them unemployed through off shoring of jobs.

One man gathers what another man spills.

There is India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc that that have cheap labor like China and will jump at the chance to build an I Phone factory on their soil. It is already happening too, thanks to the tariff wars that Trump is fighting with the Chicoms. Companies have already sought out other 3rd world labor and are moving out of China even before the Virus shutdown. This Virus shutdown of the Chicom economy is not so good for China in many ways. One is that the companies that were on the fence about leaving are sure to go now.

Oh I don't know.. since the enemy of Communism is Capitalism, it seems like a pretty clever thing to do to spread capitalism there in this way, undermining the communism at it's route: the consumer.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78489110


And this is the way Communism will ultimately defeat decadent Consumerism and Capitalism, the ‘free market’ is damned, this poison will spread far and wide and infect the global market, with other disasters to follow, and it is ripe for destruction, and to undermine and supplant the world order because it is headed for total enslavement under that model.

Once global finances Collapse it will be end game. And War time.

Western Capitalists financed and created Communism, as their new system they would transition to once the time comes. The central banking powers are behind it all and lead the changes as needed, involved from the get go, built up and set up Capitalism to fail and to fall, and so they will secure their domination over their slaves, and hold onto their control and power. With their new preferred system of human enslavement.

Basically Corporations structured under a Communist order, is what will survive this, think the military and their Continuity of Government, it is militaristic, ie. Corporate with a Communist command structure. Far from human h/e.

Human Capital, slave chattel, REsource farms, will become expendable with the advent of cloning technologies and transhumanism coming to the fore. Everyone else shall become obsolete, and be Exterminated with Extreme prejudice, replaced by a newer model of slave. SO will be sent to the front on suicide missions just like they did in the Soviet times, everyone was done away with en masse, as cannon fodder in the wars.
