inflatable gaming chair to see if it blows up until the point at which we are confident that it's real though because that's always a great place for your product to be where people aren't sure if your genuine announcement is serious or not until that point we don't know if we get anyone but if you see it pop up for sale let us know and we'll buy it up next manufacturing industry shutdowns that can effects actually already are affecting supply of some components uh aluminum capacitors aluminum based small service map devices were affected recently by this so manufacturing has been hit by a wave of mandated shutdowns in china part of this is to try and stave off rising coal and energy resource pricing natural gas for example part of it is attempting to hit emission goals apparently and part of it is uh well the the high power utilization right now causing what we would assume would be maybe brownouts in certain regions the power crunch will likely have a ripple effect that will acutely affect the already sensitive global supply chain as many companies across the globe right now rely on china's manufacturing hubs particularly electronics manufacturers this is going to start showing up rather quickly companies like nvidia apple tesla nxp qualcomm and basically everyone else all have key suppliers in china some of which have already reported halton production due to the temporary power shutdowns in fact even outside of electronics we have run into some limitations with some of our factories where since they can only work certain days or use a certain amount of power there's a limit to what they can produce this goes beyond the actual completed component like a mosfet for example and it affects people like metal suppliers metal workers uh refineries and factories of that nature as well where you're getting into raw materials that need to go to the factories so you have shutdowns affecting both of those it causes delays in one example eson precision engineering which is an assembler and supplier for apple and tesla said that it had stopped production at its facilities in quinchan china the company will leverage its inventory to maintain the operation while production is halted we expect to arrange production on the weekends or in the upcoming holidays next month to meet customers needs isan stated in a filing with the taiwan stock exchange similarly unimicron technology stated that its subsidiaries in the cities of suzhou and quinchan and jiansu province have also halted production unimicron technology is a huge pcb manufacturer serving multiple markets including the pc market and again as a key supplier for companies like apple other key suppliers in the area that were affected are concraft holding and pegatron which is a big company in the pc space chanha technology has also been forced to stop production through at least the end of the month chanwa technology is a packaging company and its key clients are nxp semiconductor and infineon you may know infineon from the vrm component supply where infinion makes things like mosfets for example controllers things of that nature additionally according to the report from nikkei asia review several key suppliers for intel nvidia qualcomm unsurprisingly are affected by this and were forced to at least temporarily suspend production or take an altered schedule for production of course all this is happening as we head into the last quarter of the year which is the peak buying season so industries including electronics and automotive in particular have suffered unprecedented
