This is gonna hurt US and Canada a lot.

Companies like Foxconn, Huawei, Oppo, and TCL will cease production until March 20 due to COVID-19.

With the crap shipping situation, it may not even be a blip. Lots of stuff stuck waiting to ship (or waiting to unload) so this may not matter. Now if there are specific chips that are in short supply that go offline (and my understanding is that doesn't work well, they need to maintain continuous production or scrap a ton of money), that could exacerbate issues. I suspect those processes will be allowed to continue (maybe lock the workers in the plant instead of at home).

It is like the center of the electronic industry. Foxconn and others have started to halt production. Get ready
 
So when Shenzhen is locked down, does that mean that if you're at the factory you just keep working until it's opened up? Or you get sent home and wait it out at home?

I've read of full office buildings being locked down, and I just assume people just keep working through the lockdown...they just don't go home.

Genuinely curious how it works. I screened out today because of a runny nose (my bad because it's typical morning) so now I'm getting emails as to why I'm not at the doctor's office lol. Ya ok...I'll just sit at home and WFH this week.
 
Zang...so you're saying Doug Ford lied? Mother effer....
 
You can't eat electronics, and there's a world wide food crisis knocking at the door.
What's more important?

I'm not even going to pretend to know what that part of the world is like or what's involved in the politics there.

Here's my tinfoil hat theory....China is ****** about Ukraine and the West feeding weapons. As such a 'COVID outbreak' was manufactured to hit the West for their sanctions on Russia.

See how easy that was? I'm going to start a fake news site. See how much I can grift.

All about making money. The electronics are more important.

Chinese people are angery at H.K saying they brought it to China 😆. China invaded H.K

Hands down electronics, with regards to net productivity going down.

But this depends where you are. If one can't eat the 30% grocery inflation that's already hit...well, ****.

If you're a business owner, you have already been ****** by the chip problems whether or not you know and this just made it worse.

Any news on TSMC in H.K ??

I'm betting on the US but we have literally 2.5 years assuming **** doesn't go sideways.

Does TSMC even have plans to go into HK....? China owns HK so I'd be surprised...?

It's not like you can by a decently priced GPU anyway... I know 1st world problems.
I guess the CPU shortage will get worse.

Sadly one can't separate the two. Chips needed for the delivery trucks. Computers needed to track deliveries and orders.

I was slightly involved in the design of Skydome and was invited to an engineering presentation where it was explained that the design had backups built into it so the failure of one component would not cause a structural collapse. It seems that very little of our infrastructure works that way.

A fender bender can cause a five mile traffic jam tying up thousands of people and wasting countless man-hours.

If a bridge in Toronto, crossing the Humber, Credit or Don River collapsed, life would be hell for years. Before bridges were invented, farmer John and his mule would just wade across somewhere else.

Redundancy is an upfront cost no one wants to pay for but when the chips (Literally) are down it's "They should have........"

Stores can't even sell stuff if a system is down because so few can add and subtract without an LED screen stuck to their nose.

Stock up on rice and canned beans.
