90% of the total food supply in Hong Kong is imported food. The Mainland is our most important food source, especially for fresh food. 94% of fresh pork, 100% of fresh beef, 92% of vegetables and 66% of eggs in Hong Kong come from the Mainland.
No fresh vegetables on the supermarket shelves here. Hasn't been since the beginning of January, just ramped up this week. Having bare shelves is really rare, in fact, not even sure if it has ever happened in the 20 years that I have been here. And gas is up 15% for 2 weeks already.
Now, China and Hong Kong are ramping up lock-downs and the fear (could be because they want more security for the Winter Olympics).
But now, I can see, it may be that their economy is about to go full belly up and that's why they are pushing hard to control the population using the pandemic as an excuse.
They're going to use the covid excuse, or going to be the excuse, to trick the population for the idea of no fresh produce:
"5 cross-border drivers test positive for Covid-19, unionists say Hong Kong’s fresh food supplies may take some time to fully recover"
The collapse could be soon, can't give you a time frame but since everything is globalized if China sneezes it's going to affect everything.
That's the current situation here. Stock up guys, at least for a month. Very important.
I think, over here in north America, they are going to use the trucker convoy as a cover for more shortages... might be why they started forcing the vax on them in the first place - to get a bunch to quit. And then they could blame the supply chain problems on them. Now they are doing nothing to work with the truckers, not lifting mandates (for the most part).... just letting the truckers (literally) idle, while the government is bad mouthing them, trying to to turn public opinion against them, so they can scapegoat them with all the shortages and economic problems we are facing.
It will work too. Once the shelves go bare and the media-government point their gnarled cum-drench fingers at the truckers and right wingers... watch what happens next...
three missed meals is all a society needs to descend
Way beyond that.
