A lot of cash but nothing to buy with it= HYPERINFLATION! It’s important to realize that China supply much more than shitty toys and simple trinkets nowadays. Even if a machine is supplied from somewhere that is not China, most likely it will have parts that are manufactured in China. Of course these parts or even complex machines could also be manufactured elsewhere, but probably will not happen immediately as it takes time and large investments to build capacity. In the west the sentiment among the investors has turned directly against investing in manufacturing the last 30 years, and that sentiment will also take time to change.

So we can expect shortages!
