This is the main problem I've been hearing about. With China starved for oil the precursors for basically everything aren't getting made and stocks are running very low. It's pretty much a perfect storm. The chinks basically don't work in February for CNY so all the stockpiled stuff was used over Feb. Right as things were starting to spool back up Iran started, meaning that between Venezuela and Iran they lost all their cheap oil, and the Strait is closed so they can't just easily import more expensive stuff from other sources either. They are really hurting for crude now and crude is critical to basically every industry. Plastics, chems, meds, paints, you name it and petroleum is probably a bottleneck at some point in the production chain
If your goal was to cripple China's ability to run their economy without saying that you wanted cripple China's ability to run their economy the strikes on Iran and subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz couldn't have been any more perfectly timed
All my opinion of course and I am but a humble retard, but this is what I've picked up on dealing with direct imports from chinks rather than going through retailers/marketplaces the last few weeks, my main vendors have almost nothing available and their competitors, outside of the largest ones that charge 50-100% more, aren't doing any better. It's so bad that just as one item was about to to come back in stock another company swooped in and bought out their entire stock before it was even available to customers
