China emerging as a major loser of U.S. war with Iran: China’s supply chains are beginning to show signs of acute strain as the US war in Iran tests the limits of President Xi Jinping’s years-long effort to prepare his nation for external shocks. Sharp price increases and supply disruptionshave emerged across key products that form the backbone of Chinese industry. Beijing is now hoping that the ceasefire announced this week by US President Donald Trump and Iran can hold beyond the initial two weeks, allowing oil and gas to flow through the Strait of Hormuz & global trade to resume. Prices in China have doubled for some polyethylenes, disrupting the market for materials needed to make everything from plastic bags and bottles to clothing & toys. Prices for some carbon fibres, which rely on some feedstocks from the Middle East & are widely used across the auto & consumer goods industries, had risen 20%. The supply crunch is also hitting lower-end manufacturers. A shelf maker based in Wenzhou in eastern China said that, due to the recent surge in prices of raw materials, especially of “core plastics”, the company decided this month that it would have to raise prices for all new orders of certain products. Analysts and diplomats have warned that a protracted conflict could trigger further export bans on products including plastics, fertilizer blends & industrial inputs such as sulphuric acid as China’s supplies start to run thin. This could threaten foreign countries that rely on Chinese trade.

御守り禁止の事をもっとよく子ども達に聞いたら、先生の独断ではなくて、学校全体の判断だそう。 と、言う事は、最低でも都内の公立小学校は基本的に御守り禁止なんだろうな。 そしてそれはじわじわと地方にも浸透していく。 最悪だね、文科省。
