🚢🌐 The 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲 is fraught with challenges, including 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝘀. Factors such as container shortages, longer transit times, adverse weather, and fewer sailings from key Asian ports are exacerbating these issues. The Red Sea crisis has further complicated matters, forcing many shipping lines to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, adding two weeks to delivery times and reducing global container capacity. Port congestion in Singapore and Shanghai has intensified as ships circle back due to the dangers in the Red Sea. Meanwhile, the expiration of 233 exclusions to the 301 tariffs on Chinese imports by the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is adding pressure, with a grace period through Jun 14th before tariffs take effect. This is causing a surge in demand to ship goods before the deadline, further straining the supply chain.

Looks like another supply chain problem is developing due to the conflict in Israel. This one seems like it will affect Europe and China more than the US, but all the same, it's another lesson in why controlling the means of production is crucial regardless of how sophisticated we can make the economy. From the US side, we're spending significant resources to keep those waters navigable. #China #Europe #US #trade #shipping https://lnkd.in/eKunSytn

The China question. Doing business with and in China is fraught with complexity and risk. But so is the complexity of a broadening global supply chain. Leaning on Moody's as a data partner helps to more efficiently clarify and address these risks.

Over the last 20+ years the United States’ supply chain relationships have undergone significant changes. From 1995 to today, bilateral trade between USA and China has progressively declined after an early boom, due to growing tariffs, increases in sanctions, and COVID-induced supply chain disruptions. These factors and political tensions have led the US to focus on finding new trade and supply partners elsewhere, with an emphasis on politically aligned countries, in addition to bringing production back home whenever possible. As a result – as this data visualization shows - Southeast Asia has become a place of special interest for the US, with a growing number of businesses in that region taking over supply chain roles that Chinese companies had previously filled. But new markets come with new risks, creating numerous challenges for compliance teams. We’ve enumerated just what some of those risks are by country in this new data story. https://lnkd.in/gSxUjbae
