Production lines start rolling again in Shanghai
China DailyEmployees work at a silicone production factory in Pudong on April 29. Return to normal Shanghai is an important international gateway for imports and exports, with the city playing a vital role in industrial and supply chains not only in the Yangtze River Delta region, but also nationwide and overseas. As of April 30, Shanghai Port had restored 80 percent of its pre-pandemic capacity, while the average daily container throughout last month at the city's Yangshan Port recovered to 85 percent of the level in the first quarter, according to public data. Qi, from Guangzhou Civil Aviation College, said: "The recovery of supply chains needs every single element along industrial chains to flow smoothly, be it raw materials, parts, facilities and equipment, or production, assembly, trade, logistics, and others. For example, citing the electric vehicle giant's financial report, CBN said Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory lost the output of some 50,000 vehicles-about one month's capacity-due to the pandemic.
