Just got a notice from my parts supplier in Shenzhen.
All businesses in Shenzhen, China's manufacturing hub, are closed effective immediately for an indefinite period. That includes all shipping companies including FedEx. NOTHING is going in or out of the most important manufacturing hub in the world right now, and there is no timeframe on when it may reopen.
Supposedly, this is due to a Coronavirus outbreak. We all know that reason is crap. I suspect the invasion of Taiwan is about to begin. Can't think of any other event big enough to warrant this.
Just thought I would pass along the information in case anyone had any doubts.
I have wanted to visit Taiwan for several years now. It's normally a cheap weekend vacation and a 3 hour flight from here (I live in Japan) and it looks so exciting to go there. My wife and I love Taiwanese food too. Crap, I really like Taiwan and I really do not like China. I'm familiar with how the Deep State betrayed Chiang Kai Shek and supported the commies along with the Soviets. Vinegar Joe Stillwell was even plotting to team up with the commies (who were armed with Japanese weapons by the Soviets) to seize the country from the Nationalists.
