According to howmuch.net and databank, the total GDP of China is USD13.61trillion and it represented 15.86% of total global GDP in 2018. In addition, industrial represented about 40% and Services about 50% in China economy total GDP. The manufacturing of raw materials and original equipment supply for worldwide. You know that China play a big role as factory in global supply chain #operation.

Because of the fast inflection spread of coronavirus, General Office of state Council China ordered the extension of #LunarChineseNewYear holiday. This policy aims to delay the spring season in order to restrict human interaction and prevent mass inflection of coronavirus at office, factory and transportation rush. Keep in mind that there are over 2.5 billion usual transportation trips yearly within Lunar New Year holiday period. You can imagine the consequence in mass virus infection if every workercrowds the transportation system during this time period.Restriction in mass transportation and factory is critical, necessary but painful to economy. Companies and factories operation are stunnedbecause workers are not able to go back working.We have also experienced some influences in #Oym logistics platform.

It decreases the demands of consumer goods, furthermore, the volume of whole economy supply chain and logistics activities.Consumer confidence and behavior do the economic harm more then the actual virus does.
