Abathwali basolwandle bayazama ukulungisa amanethiwekhi abo njengoba idolobha laseChina iShenzhen liqala ukuvalwa kwesonto lonke.
Ngokwesaziso esikhishwe yi-Shenzhen Covid-19 Prevention and Control Command Office, izakhamizi zakuleli dolobha elicishe zibe yi-17m kumele zihlale ekhaya kuze kube yiSonto - ngaphandle kokuphuma bayohlolwa imizuliswano emithathu - okulandela ukuthi, "kuzolungiswa. ngokwesimo esisha”.
Abathwali abaningi abakadedeli izeluleko njengoba “asazi ukuthi sizothini,” kusho umthombo wenkampani yenethiwekhi namuhla.
Uthe izingcingo echwebeni lesithathu ngobukhulu emhlabeni iYantian kuzodingeka zidonswe kuleli sonto, futhi mhlawumbe ngesonto elizayo.
“Yilokho nje ebesingakufuni,” esho, “abahleli bethu manje sebekhipha okusele izinwele zabo.”
Umhlaziyi wezamabhizinisi wakwaCNBC, uLori Ann LaRocco, uthe yize itheku lizohlala livuliwe ngokusemthethweni ngesikhathi sokuvalwa, empeleni lizovalwa ukuze kuthuthwe impahla.
“Amachweba maningi kunemikhumbi engena,” kusho yena, “udinga abantu abazoshayela amaloli futhi bakhiphe umkhiqizo ezindaweni zokugcina izimpahla.Abekho abantu abalingana nohwebo.”
Uma lungekho ulwazi oluvela kubathwali, lushiywe emphakathini odlulisela phambili ukuthi uthumele izeluleko.I-Seko Logistics ithe abasebenzi bayo bazobe besebenza ekhaya nokuthi, ngokulindelekile, abantu bayo bebesebenza besuka emakhaya beshintshashintsha kusukela ngesonto eledlule "ukuqinisekisa umthelela omncane ekusebenzeni uma kuvalwa".
Umhlaziyi uLars Jensen, weVespucci Maritime, uthe: “Kufanele kukhunjulwe ukuthi ngesikhathi iYantian ivalwa ngenxa yeCovid ngonyaka odlule, umthelela ophazamisayo ekuhambeni kwempahla wawucishe uphindwe kabili ubukhulu bokuvalwa kweSuez Canal.”
Ngaphezu kwalokho, lokho kuvalwa kweYantian akuzange kudlulele edolobheni, okuyikhaya likaHuawei, umkhiqizi we-iPhone uFoxconn nezinye izinkampani eziningi ezinkulu zezobuchwepheshe, ngakho-ke umthelela walokhu kuvalwa kungenzeka ube mkhulu futhi ungahlala isikhathi eside.
Kunokwesabela ukuthi isu laseChina lokuqeda i-Covid lizonwetshwa nakwamanye amadolobha amakhulu, naphezu kwezimpawu “ezithambile” zokuhluka kwe-Omicron.
Kepha ngokuqinisekile "ngesinye isipanela emisebenzini" yamaketanga okuhlinzeka kuze kube manje aqala ukukhombisa izimpawu zokubuyela ohlotsheni oluthile lokujwayela.Eqinisweni, ngaphambi kwalokhu kuphazamiseka okusha, abathwali abafana ne-Maersk ne-Hapag-Lloyd babebikezela ukuthi ukwethembeka kweshejuli (kanye namazinga) kuzothuthuka engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka.
Ukuphazamiseka kungase futhi kumise ukuguguleka kancane kancane kwamazinga kanye nenani lempahla yesikhashana emzileni wezohwebo wase-Asia-Europe, ngamanani kuyo yonke imizila yaseShayina yokuthekelisa ekhombisa ukwenyuka kwesidingo sempahla.
