Australian exporters and importers
will be closely watching the fallout from a new COVID-19 outbreak in southern China that is creating a trade bottleneck.
China has largely stamped out cases of local COVID-19 transmission,
but Guangdong province
has seen a flare-up of the more infectious Delta variant of the virus, initially discovered in India.The Chinese province
is a major shipping hub and home to the ports of Guangzhou and Shenzhen – the third largest and the fifth largest in the world by container volume, according to the World Shipping Council.Since the variant
was found in Guangzhou last month, it has grown to 100 cases.Authorities have reacted
by imposing lockdowns and other measures that limit the operations of ports and transport industries.
