OPINION: China's COVID lockdowns will create a new supply chain crisis
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., weighs in on the threat of China and discusses the looming government shutdown.’s draconian lockdowns created massive supply chain shortages that rippled throughout the globe almost as fast as COVID-19. For months, Americans faced empty shelves and enormous shipping delays. Two years later, we’re still dealing with the problem, with a new round of Chinese lockdowns threatening to produce yet another wave of disruptions.
While Americans are adapting to a post-pandemic world , the Chinese Communist Party is behaving exactly the same now as it did when COVID first appeared in Wuhan. Left-wing journalists initially lauded Beijing’s pandemic response as superior to our own. Today, it’s plain to see that the CCP’s "zero-COVID" policy is keeping China in a perpetual state of emergency — and the rest of the world is going to suffer for it.Stopping COVID in its tracks was never feasible.
Shanghai is the largest container port in the world and processes a massive 20 percent of Chinese exports. The CCP’s measures have put almost every one of the city’s warehouses, plants, and trucks out of commission, and the port and airport are only functioning in a limited capacity. Cargo is piling up, and it will continue to do so for as long as the lockdown remains in effect.
