Super typhoon disrupts Asia supply chains

Super typhoon Yagi has caused widespread disruptions across Asia, particularly affecting manufacturing and shipping hubs in China and Vietnam. The storm forced mass evacuations in southern China, claimed lives in Vietnam, and damaged industrial areas. Key regions like Guangdong province and Hong Kong have seen closures of businesses, public services, and transportation networks. This has created significant backlogs in manufacturing and shipping, with some companies anticipating weeks of delays and increased costs. The typhoon's impact is likely to have far-reaching effects on global supply chains.
