Widening power shortages in China have halted production at numerous factories including many supplying Apple and Tesla, while some shops in the northeast operated by candlelight and malls shut early as the economic toll of the squeeze mounted.
How did china manage to get hit by power issues :sadness:
China has gigantic coal energy, so if world market suddenly spiked it makes sense they’ll get hit as well :shrug-outta-hecks:
Plus idk, this energy crisis everywhere smells funny, they don’t exactly use same transport mode(pipelines with gas, specific coal ports and ships for coal, not container ships)
