3. Public health requirements impact industrial operations
4. Suppliers invoking force majeure clauses on the rise
5. Provincial border checks exacerbate trucking shortage
6. Closed boarders delay movement from and to Vietnam and Hong Kong
7. Labour shortage causes congestion at airports and seaports
8. Blank sailings reduce ocean freight capacity out of China
