How China’s Lockdown Will Cause Ripple Effects in the World’s Global Supply Chain

China's strict lockdown measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 are causing disruptions in the global supply chain.

This is not only affecting Chinese citizens but also governments and businesses worldwide. The systemic effects could throw global markets off balance if not properly handled, leading to inflation and further supply chain disruptions.
