Ilizwe elikhulu kwihlabathi elithumela intambo yomqhaphu kwamanye amazwe linciphise kakhulu ukuthunyelwa kwayo kwamanye amazwe, kwaye uninzi lwentambo yomqhaphu luthunyelwa kwelinye ilizwe kwinkampani enkulu kunazo zonke ezithumela intambo yomqhaphu kwamanye amazwe. Ucinga ntoni?

Ukuncipha kwemfuno yemisonto yekotoni eTshayina kukwabonisa ukwehla kwenani leempahla ezithengiswayo kwihlabathi liphela.

Kuvele umbono onomdla kwimarike yehlabathi yempahla yelaphu. I-China, eyona nkampani inkulu yokungenisa impahla yelaphu emhlabeni, yanciphisa impahla eyayingenisa kwamanye amazwe yaza ekugqibeleni yathumela impahla yelaphu e-India, eyona nkampani inkulu yokuthumela impahla yelaphu emhlabeni.

Ukuvalwa kweMelika kunye nemiqathango yokungabikho kwe-coronavirus kumqhaphu ovela eXinjiang, kunye nokuphazamiseka kokuthengwa kwempahla, nako kuchaphazele ukungeniswa komqhaphu waseTshayina. Ukungeniswa komqhaphu waseTshayina kwehla ngokulingana neebhali ezizigidi ezi-3.5 zomqhaphu osontiweyo.

I-China ingenisa intambo evela eIndiya, ePakistan, eVietnam nase-Uzbekistan njengoko ishishini lokusonta lasekhaya lingenakukwazi ukuhlangabezana neemfuno. Ukungeniswa kwentambo yomqhaphu eTshayina kulo nyaka bekuphantsi kakhulu kwiminyaka ephantse ibe lishumi, kwaye ukwehla ngequbuliso kokungeniswa kwentambo kuye kwaxhalabisa amaqabane ayo okuthumela kwamanye amazwe, azama ukufikelela kwezinye iimarike zentambo yomqhaphu.

Ukuthengwa kweentambo zomqhaphu eTshayina kwehle kwaya kwi-$2.8 yeebhiliyoni kwiinyanga ezisithoba zokuqala zonyaka, xa kuthelekiswa ne-$4.3 yeebhiliyoni kwixesha elifanayo kunyaka ophelileyo. Oko kulingana nokuhla kweepesenti ezingama-33.2, ngokutsho kwedatha yerhafu yaseTshayina.

Ukuncipha kwemfuno yemisonto yekotoni eTshayina kubonisa ukwehla kwee-odolo zempahla zehlabathi. I-China isengumvelisi wempahla nomthengisi wempahla omkhulu kwihlabathi liphela, ithatha ngaphezulu kwama-30 ekhulwini kwimarike yempahla yehlabathi. Ukusetyenziswa kwemisonto kwamanye amazwe amakhulu ezoqoqosho kwakuphantsi ngenxa ye-odolo yempahla ephantsi. Oku kudale ubuninzi bemisonto, kwaye abavelisi abaninzi bemisonto yekotoni banyanzelekile ukuba balahle imisonto egciniweyo ngamaxabiso angaphantsi kweendleko zemveliso.
