International data show that the Chinese government’s ongoing lockdown of Shanghai is precipitously driving up shipping delays around the world, risking further supply chain disruptions at a time when global commerce networks are already fragile.
Data from Project 44 , a “supply chain visibility platform,” shows that “shipment delays between China and major US and European ports have quadrupled since late March, when China shut down the city of Shanghai, which has the world’s busiest container port,” according to CNN.
By the end of last month ships from China to Seattle were taking on average four days longer to arrive, compared to one day in March.
Shanghai’s lockdown came as China in early March began reporting a skyrocketing number of cases there, a jump which came after the communist-run country had reported extremely low case numbers for over two years.
Josh Brazil, the director of supply chain data insights at Project 44, told CNN that delays will “continue into the summer months” due to China’s commitment to locking down the major port city.
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
