“The Chinese mostly didn’t get to work after lunar new year. If it is not fixed very soon expect shortages of everything in two to three weeks.”

The shortages are already on the way, in the ships that haven’t been loaded for the past 3 weeks. The only variable is the severity. The question for Americans is how fast will the stores get cleaned out, once reality sets in (maybe in an hour)?

The way logistic works I think for consumer goods there are a couple of weeks left for it to hit the fan. I might be wrong. For the industrial components with constant processes it should be sooner. Hyundai in Korea and Nissan in Japan already announced production stopped due to a shortage of Chinese parts.
Have anyone here ordered a thing from Aliexpress lately?
