Why Christmas could be stuck in a shipping container

Before the pandemic took hold - and amid concerns over the US-China trade war - some manufacturers had already begun to move their production away from China, to countries like India and Vietnam.

"For example, Ho Chi Minh City, which is one of the fastest growing manufacturing hubs in the world right now, was under a pretty strict lockdown for the last couple of months." So, how long could the logjam go on? "Maybe three months down the road, we will see the choke come back to Asia again," Mr Ea says.

Christmas has become very materialistic and full of merchandise. Kids want branded stuff. We say We're religious country but i can't see it now. Debts for presents. Over buying food. Alcohol to fill swimming pool.

This might be a good year to give to charity instead

I feel so sorry for the Americans that they might not get shiploads of plastic toys and cheap decorations.

Nobody cares ffs

Someone is slandering

My Christmas is already sorted.

Container ships are stacked up waiting to be off loaded at most ports because of the knock on effect of the Evergreen ship blockage.

Absolute rubbish,BBC scaremongering again.Yes there is a backlog of containers from China,but 95% of them are full of other goods,not only christmas tat.

The West Christmas has nothing to do with Christ...it's about Santa Claus... maybe go back to the original.
