China shipment delays to contine

Also freight rates will skyrocket by 50% of current rates, which are already at an incredible level, unprecidented in modern times. Shiping lines seem to be cashing in, despite the global COVID 19 pandemic and operational disruptions to ports across the world and the global supply chain in general.
