🚨 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?
