Post Coronavirus Closes 5 Hyundai Factories.

SEOUL: The most productive car factory in the world fell quiet on Friday as South Korea's Hyundai suspended operations at its giant Ulsan complex, hamstrung by a lack of parts with the coronavirus outbreak crippling China's industrial output.

The five-plant network can make 1.4 million vehicles annually, in a coastal location facilitating importing components and exporting cars globally.

But supply lines are crucial in an ever more interconnected worldwide economy and the coronavirus outbreak in China has seen Beijing order factories closed in several areas as it seeks to contain the epidemic.


As a result, Hyundai -- which with its affiliate Kia ranks as the world's fifth-largest auto manufacturer -- has run out of the wiring harnesses that connect vehicles' complex electronics.

It is having to suspend production at its factories across South Korea, putting 25,000 workers on forced leave and partial wages, healthy victims of the disease outbreak across the Yellow Sea.

The news about the coronavirus just gets worse every day, I've stopped ordering Chinese home delivery because of it.

My company has an office in China, the staff haven’t been back to work since CNY, with no end in sight.
If everything goes back to normal tomorrow it could take 6-12 months for global shipping to catch up. Shipping rates have increased.
I give it 2 months and Bunnings will have empty shelves from certain suppliers.

This is interesting. We're already behind when it comes to the stink big and now this. We've got cars that were due in December and it's now February with the latest is that these vehicles wont' start arriving until March! When you're talking about roughly 60 cars from just one dealer group, things are going to get hectic and customers don't won't to hear excuses!

They even dredge the gutters and drains for waste oils and reuse them for human consumption.

I'm surprised it took this long for something like this to happen.

**Sigh** - Just curious, have you been to the real China? I'm not talking about your posh hotel room you stayed in when you last visited. Not talking about the civilised Chinese restaurants you dined in close to your posh hotel, or the 'Chinese food' you ordered as room service.

You only have to travel a couple of hours outside any of the major Chinese cities to see the real China, and the Chinese delicacies available to be purchased - if you know where to go. I have video recorded my experiences on my phone. It's disgusting - to say the least.

And yes, I have been to China. Many times.

Spot on. After spending a month in China backpacking around on my own I came back a different person.

I also got into many, MANY heated arguments with other people who said it was NOTHING like I described and had a wonderful time on their nice package deal tour where they are bused to and from the airport and wrapped in cotton wool and protected their entire trip.

Yes, of course they had a wonderful time, they never had to buy tickets for public transport, exchange money, buy their own food, arrange emergency accommodation, ask for help, catch a taxi / rickshaw / bus / train or deal with the general scamming public...

A few years ago Amanda Vanstone was based there, she did a radio interview where she says 'The Chinese are very much like us, they have barbecues on the weekend and know how to mingle and have a good laugh'...

Yeah... right. I actually emailed the radio and they read out some of what I had to say. Some called in to agree, some called in to disagree.

I compare many Mainland Chinese to the Beverly Hillbillies, where they went from poor and third world to rich and prosperous within the one generation and don't have the ability to bring their mentality into the more modern world.

Look at the many tourist videos of how they behave outside their country. They act like they have no rules or boundaries and lack even basic common sense, courtesy and compassion.

As for food. They have a great pleasure in eating still living animals with not an ounce of feeling that it's not right.

Even cooking animals while still alive and trying to keep them alive as long as possible while being cooked and even eaten.

Just last week I saw a video of a 'man' eating a pile of baby live mice. Dipping them into sauce and eating them whole while smiling to the camera.

Any normal person would never consider such an abhorrent act yet he went to a restaurant it seems that serves this 'dish'... I would have loved to have bitten a chunk out of his arm and asked him if he knew that was right or wrong.

Same place that mixed melamine powder into baby formula for goodness sake probably because melamine powder was cheaper than milk powder by the ton...

I even dated a Chinese girl for several months. The chip on her shoulder and severe superiority complex it possessed made me sick, always right, never wrong and just concerned about making money and profit above all else - at any cost.

Sorry if this offends, my boss is Chinese and nothing like what I described above (quite the opposite actually) I also acknowledge that there are many mainland Chinese that are not like described above but so many more don't do their own culture any favours.

This issue revolves around food preparation and consumption. Don't google too much into their practices, you will not like what you find and wish you could 'un-see' and 'un-hear' what they get up to there.

And just remember, most consider it 'normal'.....

Hell, one of the first doctors that tried to alert the public of Carona was arrested and charged for causing public disorder and even made to apologise. How dare he go against the status quo...

Interestingly an acquaintance of mine who is Chinese mentioned the same thing, they're being westernised but they're not picking up the good traits and are becoming profit hungry monsters, Chinese people are traditionally honourable and respectful people but it's fallen by the wayside with picking up the terrible parts of westernisation putting the mighty spondoolies above all else.

Interestingly one of my mates went to Cambodia recently and mentioned how ridiculous the Chinese people there are, they're exploiting the locals and acting holier than thou, they wouldn't take a photo for him 'me Chinese, me Chinese' - they are above everyone else

Personally I don't like their cuisine and have trust issues over how they handle food.

My wife has. She says even the 'normal' food looked and tasted pretty horrible. Hygiene was almost non existent. She ended up eating KFC as much as possible because it was the most appetizing food she could find half the time.

I still tell her it stands for Kentucky Fried Cat over there.

Western fast food is the saving grace in these countries for a lot of people...

At least they have a menu you are somewhat familiar with and expect there to be some minimal standards they must abide by.

As an aside to the culinary discussion, it appears Chinese industrial output has stopped (good charts):

Staggering. For our older members, have you ever seen anything like this in your lifetimes?

Well good riddance. The fewer of these Kia’s and Hyundai’s are made the better. Their forced closure due to China’s problems shows how much of a Korean car’s components are actually chinese lol

I’m willing to bet your mustang has a heap of Chinese components in it.

Came through Melbourne today and apart from a few flights from NZ and the US everything else was from Singapore or Hong Kong which look to have all Chinese on, wearing their face masks. So buggered if I know how serious they are securing the boarder.
Should have got one up on them.

This is much bigger than just Kia and Hyundai stopping production.

Every day this virus is costing the world Billions.

Our reliance on China means sooner or later following current trends this will effect almost every person on the planet in some way.

Many of the really big and famous / popular Chinese restaurants in Sydney CBD are empty and closed or close to it.

Tourism industry on its knees. Important and export of food greatly effected, global offices closed because China isn't trading.

I bet the deaths and infections reported are a fraction of reality in typical Chinese style.

If a cure is 12 months away as predicted we are all royally screwed.

Storm in a tea cup? Just like swine flu, bird flu, sars, Y2K etc.
Fuelled by the financially struggling media who rely on click bait head lines that shock or induce fear.
With the help of social media prompting politicians to put half arsed measures in place to show they are doing something (to avoid what Morrison went through last month).

Eye brows should raise at our reliance on China. Their cooperations incentivised by their govt buying up land and companies for primary industry production, food and dairy.
When they have us by the balls in controlling what food we get, who knows what crap is served up on the shelves in Coles etc that come from China or out of their owned and operated factory farms.
Any biosecurity, animal welfare and food safety regulations are going to mean SFA if that is the case.

With the demise of the local butcher, and the probability we have most meat and dairy being sourced from the Chinese with questionable and unknown standards, perhaps veganism will take off.
Leftist millennials are more worried about changing the date, not offending a transgender, or buying an electric car and making virtuous posts on social media so they can change the weather.
Personally I'd be looking to becoming self sufficient from acreage.

Give it a week or two and some scientists in the pocket of the UN and the click bait media will link this to climate change.

The Chinese really are hygenically filthy. Is it any surprise these outbreaks happen there? There food quality standards are pretty much none existent. Using human excrement as fertiliser for example.

We probably sell our good quality food to them, and take their filthy garbage food back by the boatload. We really are a stupid country sometimes.

I was just doing some figures, 1.4 Billion \ whats the average life expectency 75? = 18.6 Million people should be dying each year, which is 51 THOUSAND people dying in China every day. 100 Dying per day from this Caronavirus isnt really that much really if you think about it!

After a bit of fooling around with google it seems that around 9 million die each year on average in China.

Still, that's 24,657 per day.

I think deaths from Corona are grossly under reported. I wonder how many of these deaths have been listed as something similar to corona just to try and dull the public fear of what is going on.
