Muva nje, ngenxa yokwanda kwamacala e-Covid-19 aqinisekisiwe eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia njengeVietnam, imboni yokukhiqiza ingase ibuyele eShayina ngokwengxenye. Ezinye izinto zibonakala kwezohwebo, kanye neqiniso lokuthi ukukhiqiza sekubuyile. Ucwaningo lwakamuva olwenziwe nguMnyango Wezohwebo lubonisa ukuthi cishe ama-oda okuthumela kwamanye amazwe asayinwe yizinkampani zangaphandle asanda kwanda unyaka nonyaka. Ukubuyiselwa kwama-oda aphesheya kwezilwandle empeleni kuletha amathuba angakaze abonwe emabhizinisini amancane naphakathi, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo kuletha nezinselele.

Ngokusho kocwaningo lwakamuva mayelana nemakethe yezindwangu eGuangdong, eJiangsu naseZhejiang, kanye nezinye izinkampani zokuhweba kwamanye amazwe, ukuluka, izindwangu, izingubo kanye nezinye iziteshi zithole ama-oda kahle kusukela ngoJulayi, futhi ngokuyisisekelo zikwazile ukuqala ngokukhiqiza okungaphezu kuka-80% noma ngisho okuphelele.

Izinkampani eziningi zibike ukuthi kusukela ngoJulayi nango-Agasti, ama-oda atholwe emazweni athuthukile njengeYurophu, iMelika, iCanada nakwamanye amazwe athuthukile ikakhulukazi uKhisimusi nePhasika (ikakhulukazi ama-oda okubuyisa avela eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia asobala kakhulu). Abekwe ezinyangeni ezi-2-3 ngaphambi kweminyaka edlule. Inzuzo ephansi, kodwa isikhathi soku-oda nesikhathi sokulethwa, ukuhweba kwamanye amazwe, amabhizinisi ezindwangu nezingubo anesikhathi esanele sokuthenga izinto zokusetshenziswa, ukuqinisekiswa, ukukhiqizwa kanye nokulethwa. Kodwa akuwona wonke ama-oda angathengiswa kahle.

Izinto zokusetshenziswa ziyanda kakhulu, ama-oda aba “i-hot potato”

Ngenxa yomthelela wobhubhane, ama-oda amaningi kwadingeka ahlehliswe. Ukuze benze ukuthengiselana okubushelelezi, kwadingeka bakhulume namakhasimende, benethemba lokuthi bazoqonda. Kodwa-ke, basabhekene nokukhungatheka ngamakhasimende, futhi abanye abanakho okunye ngaphandle kokwamukela amakhasimende ukuthi akhansele ama-oda ngoba abakwazi ukuletha izimpahla…

Isizini yeGolden Nine neSilver Ten iyeza maduze, izinkampani bezicabanga ukuthi kuzoba nama-oda engeziwe avela kumakhasimende. Ngenkathi lokho ezibhekene nakho ukuthi umbukiso ukhanseliwe noma uhlehlisiwe, kanti namanye amazwe nawo avimbe amazwe awo ngenxa yalolu bhubhane. Amasiko ezwe lapho amakhasimende atholakala khona nawo aqale ukulawula ngokuqinile imikhiqizo ehlukahlukene engenisiwe nethunyelwa kwamanye amazwe. Imisebenzi yokungenisa nokuthumela kwamanye amazwe iye yaba yinkinga enkulu. Lokhu kuholele ekwehleni okukhulu kokuthengwa kwamakhasimende.

Ngokusho kwempendulo evela kwamanye amakhasimende akwamanye amazwe: ngenxa yalolu bhubhane, umkhiqizo wawo wonke amazwe uthinteke kakhulu, iningi lemikhiqizo yawo isithengisiwe yonke, kanti nempahla egcinwe endaweni yokugcina impahla ifinyelele eqophelweni eliphansi kakhulu, futhi kunesidingo esiphuthumayo sokuthenga. Isimo samanje samazwe aseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia akufanele sithathwe kancane. Ama-oda aphesheya kwezilwandle ayaqhubeka nokubuya, kanti ezinye izinkampani zaseShayina zisuke “ekushodeni kwama-oda zaya kuma-oda aqhumayo.” Kodwa ngenxa yokwanda kwama-oda, abantu bezindwangu abajabuli! Ngenxa yokwanda kwama-oda, intengo yezinto zokusetshenziswa nayo iyanda kakhulu.

Futhi ikhasimende alisona isiwula. Uma intengo ikhuphuka ngokuzumayo, ikhasimende linethuba elikhulu lokunciphisa ukuthengwa noma ukukhansela ama-oda. Ukuze lisinde, kufanele lithathe ama-oda ngentengo yokuqala. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukunikezwa kwezinto zokusetshenziswa kukhuphukile, futhi ngenxa yokwanda okungazelelwe kwesidingo samakhasimende, kube nokuntuleka kwezinto zokusetshenziswa, okuholele ekutheni abanye abahlinzeki bangakwazi ukunikeza izingxenye efektri ngesikhathi. Lokhu kwaholela ngqo eqinisweni lokuthi ezinye izinto zokusetshenziswa zendwangu zazingekho ngesikhathi futhi azikwazanga ukulethwa ngesikhathi lapho ifektri ikhiqiza.

Bekhulisa umkhiqizo wokuthunyelwa, amafektri nezinkampani babecabanga ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthunyelwa kalula, kodwa babengalindele ukuthi umthengisi wezimpahla athi kunzima kakhulu uku-oda ama-container manje. Kusukela ekuqaleni kokuhlelwa kokuthunyelwa, akukho ukuthunyelwa okuphumelele ngemva kwenyanga. Ukuthunyelwa kuncane, futhi intengo yokuthunyelwa olwandle ikhuphuke, futhi eziningana seziphindwe kabili izikhathi eziningana, ngoba ukuthunyelwa olwandle okuphezulu nakho kuyekile… Izimpahla eziqediwe zingashiywa kuphela enqolobaneni yokugcina impahla ukuze zilinde, futhi isikhathi sokubuyiselwa kwemali naso siyandiswa.
