Red Sea Crisis a Blow to China Trade
Listen now
Description
The attacks on cargo vessels plying the Red Sea have delivered the biggest blow to global trade since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Container ships are bearing the brunt of the impact, and the ensuing delays and soaring costs threaten to upend supply chains and rekindle the fires of inflation.

Bloomberg Intelligence’s transportation & logistics analysts Lee Klaskow and Kenneth Loh join co-hosts John Lee and Tom Corbett to reveal how they see the shipping industry.
