The bad news returns to the IT market in general, and it is that once again China must succumb to the contagion surge that is plaguing the country by COVID-19, which is seriously affecting one of its centers, global manufacturing and technology hubs: Shanghai. How long will he be stopped? global production of notebooks? Veamoslo.
The concentration of much of the industry in certain parts of the country has a rebound effect when it comes to causes such as a highly contagious virus. China isn’t that it’s not ready for COVID-19 today, but it’s also not that it’s done too good a job on the most important factor and now she has a problem.
An indefinite shutdown of global laptop production
We are talking about laptops because, curiously, the virus hits the most important factories in the sector which represent a very large part of said global production, where the rest remains in Vietnam, Taiwan and a little less in India. The information comes from Asian media and warns of a new series of measures that China will have to implement in this region in order to control the spread of the virus.
It must be remembered that this country made its own vaccine, which was much less effective than Westerners, and now they have a very serious problem with the variant. Omicron since the effectiveness has been reduced to almost a third compared to the original version of the virus.
Therefore, there is talk of very serious damage to the global electronics industry, as China has given the green light to the control of labor movements, the implementation of teleworking and other stricter regulations. which, added to the energy cuts due to CO2 emissions, literally knock out laptops production in the Kunshan area.
The big three fall forever

It may not tell us much at first, but we have to consider who these three giants work for, as they manufacture for almost all the major brands in the world, such as HP, Lenovo, ASUS, ACER, Dell, Toshiba and Apple
At the sight of these names and after the qualification of a stoppage of the world production of laptops due to serious damage, everything changes for those who were not familiar. The next intervention by the Chinese government will take place tomorrow, the 6th, where it is expected that after 4 days of interruption, new, even more restrictive human and professional measures will be put in place to try to stop the blow that the virus is dealing to the Asian country. , since more than 10,000 toilets deployed do not seem sufficient.
What is clear is that the break will cause laptops to rise in value due to speculation if it lasts too long which it looks like retailers and stores have also gone up so we will have to be Pay attention to price changes.
