🚨 Trade tension escalates: not a single ship has left China for California in the past 12 hours.

A scenario not seen since the pandemic.

📉 The impact is significant:

Port of Long Beach: -40% in cargo volume

Port of Los Angeles: -31%

Businesses are facing shortages and rising costs

Consumers may feel the effects within 30 days

💼 The reason: the U.S. has imposed 145% tariffs on most Chinese imports. China has responded with 125% tariffs on U.S. goods.

Talks have stalled. Ships are anchored. Trade is on pause.

🧠 As Sun Tzu once said:

"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."

China’s quiet shipping freeze may seem passive—but it’s a calculated strategic move.

❓ Who holds the upper hand?

The one who strikes hard?

Or the one who waits and lets the pressure build?
