Nothing wrong with any of that because ports are subject to pandemic restrictions too so it's nothing to worry about plus your item will still arrive no matter although a bit delayed. They will get back to work immediately.
I don't think so. China's control of the epidemic is very strict, and the people have basically resumed their normal life trajectory. This may just be an excuse for shipping delays.
So far I haven't found an article that says that in China the Covid virus has hit again. maybe this is just an excuse given by the sender to cover up problems for shipping. Since this pandemic hit China has tightened and restricted goods that will enter or leave the country. take it easy, you will still receive what is your right.
Actually there is no solid evidence if the virus really came from China. As far as I know, that country managed to stop the spread of the covid virus earlier than other countries. So is this the second wave of the pandemic in China? I don't shop from China but I have friends and relatives who study there. a few days ago I asked the conditions there and they said everything was back to normal.
There's difficulty in distributing goods everywhere with the products since the time of covid. The Evergreen ship blocking the Suez Canal was even thought to be easy to solve but it was just purposely put there and held like it's the hardest thing to remove but this Delta variant could be true. Despite them being strict to their borders, the air flights are very open to Hongkong.
Nothing noteworthy event that is positive for the market, I suggest that we probably should ignore China in regards to their effect on the market, we can still be up to date but we can't let it affect our decision alone for what to do when the market moves.
Yes, Fud is always in China. After creating a crackdown on the bitcoin mining industry, their latest move is that their central bank is discussing and giving feedback on the adoption of CBDC (known as e-CNY). I'm not sure what their government can calculate and aim for, but their mistake is getting bigger and bigger for the blockchain industry. They will certainly take more until realized.Link source here: https://twitter.com/wublockchain/status/1416076826540052484?s=21
Anyone shopping from China lately?
I've bought some smaller things, I didn't receive such a message.
The only new thing was that now that I also had to pay some taxes and VAT, but I'm from EU.
Same here, I have been buying some stuff in the last couple of months, last year though I order a bulk item and there was no such news, only thing is that I have to pay a hefty duty tax in my country.
It could be their curbing out things specially of value going out? Although I have ordered things online not from China, let's say from Singapore, I would get the same message about the delays, but it was delivered ahead of the schedule time.
The items the OP ordered is GPU, maybe they are controlling it, perhaps the government might think that you are going to used it for crypto related mining.
According to official data taken from worldometers the current situation with covid isn't severe in China, only 36 cases per day (which is nothing considering their population).
I guess the government must be hiding the real data because I doubt that they would worry about such a low incidence. But the WHO is warning about the upcoming third wave, the incidence has been rising in many countries lately, which is due to the new strains, mostly. China might be no exception.

What do you expect and how's that become a big problem? It's already the practice in the international delivery since the pandemic occurs, and honestly even before. Even in countries that have already controlled the virus situation in their region, that was also the practice.
You won't expect a 100% smooth service from international delivery nowadays. Just wait patiently for your orders to be delivered.
You are just excited about your brand-new GPU that's why you are in rush.

I don't know why you're receiving this message that your good will either not arrive or will be delayed significantly, it looks like the sort of message that would have been sent early last year when the pandemic "shed it's milk teeth" and countries were still coming to grasp with what was going on and ways to control it, now that vaccines are in progress, there should not be too many problems, except this message is for a completely different reason, while China prolly just puts the blame on covid-19.
Anyone shopping from China lately? I think CoV19 is slowly showing up in China again, I ordered for some GPU from China and I got message that I might not get my orders fully delivered to me because of ongoing covid shit in China again, here is a screenshot
Even there are news concerning this on Google too

As he news goes exaggerating, people around the world was fooled by possible manipulations. We don't know yet what's the truth behind, I think that doing personal fact checks might be applicable in order to confirm all those stories we read and hear.

China already has the virus under control (or at least this is what they want us to believe). But this is very normal. I guess all international shipping are suffering from delays due to the on going pandemic. All countries are being very careful when it comes to anything crossing the border. The message also says that everything is being delayed due to less flights, but not sure what they meant by "again" over there. I haven't seen any news lately talking about a new wave in China. -snip-

It's normal OP, goods have to be wiped clean before shipping out so expect some delays, this is actually for your own good because covid can be transferred through any means, very deadly is this virus so this isn't an alarming thing
Delta variant could be causing some issues in China, but we won't actually know until many weeks from now whether it's a problem or not because China is great at damage control and limiting journalism/access to the outside world. Their strategy generally is lock up entire cities at a time and prevent any travel, probably limit internet access too, and wait until the case confirmations go down. Also it's possible that with newer covid spikes it could be supply chain issues with whatever transportation and logistics companies are operating out of China. Too early to tell.

China is a country where people are vaccinated with 2 million vaccines a day. If all nations were as disciplined, the pandemic would have ended long ago.
How do we know this?
I completely agree with avikz, we have zero idea of what's actually happening in China right now, heck, no one outside of China even has an accurate map of China.. The Chinese block literally all English websites as well, for example BitcoinTalk is banned in China (https://www.comparitech.com/privacy-security-tools/blockedinchina/bitcointalk/)
Yes, Similar news are popping into Google again but no one knows the truth. The government of China has made it so difficult to bring out their news to the world, you really can't trust any random sources. It seems the Delta variant has made a progress into China again. But I didn't see any government notification regarding this yet. Possibly we will see it in coming days.
I often buy in China. They don't write anything like that to me. There is no big concern over the pandemic. China is a country where people are vaccinated with 2 million vaccines a day. If all nations were as disciplined, the pandemic would have ended long ago.
Weren't they celebrating an anniversary recently of the ccp's control? Maybe it was something that happened from mass gatherings with that.
They've had 5 months longer than everyone else to try to come up with a vaccine and get everyone immunised though.

It's high time to stop buying anything from China. They have been a pain in the butt for the rest of the world since a long time now. If you are buying anything from them, you are just funding their expansionist behavior through taxes etc. Since they don't want anything from outside to come to their country, we will have to ensure that we stop doing this for our own good and for our own security.
