I-DONGGUAN, e-China - Ukucuthwa kombane kunye nokucima umbane kuye kwacotha okanye kwavala iifektri kulo lonke elase-China kwezi ntsuku zidlulileyo, ukongeza isoyikiso esitsha kuqoqosho olucothayo lwelizwe kwaye okunokuthi kuqhubele phambili ukutyhutyha amatyathanga obonelelo lwehlabathi ngaphambi kwexesha elixakekileyo lokuthenga iKrisimesi eNtshona.
Ukucima kuye kwasasazeka kulo lonke elasempuma yeTshayina, apho uninzi lwabemi luhlala kwaye lusebenza khona. Abanye abaphathi bezakhiwo baye bacima iilifti. Ezinye izikhululo zokumpompa zikamasipala zivaliwe, nto leyo ebangele ukuba enye idolophu ikhuthaze abahlali ukuba bagcine amanzi ongezelelweyo kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezizayo, nangona kamva yarhoxisa ingcebiso.

Kukho izizathu ezininzi zokuba umbane unqongophele ngequbuliso kuninzi lwaseTshayina. Imimandla emininzi yehlabathi iphinda ivulwe emva kokuvalwa okubangelwa ngubhubhani, okonyusa kakhulu imfuno yeefektri zase China ezilambele umbane ezithumela ngaphandle.

Imfuno yokuthumela ngaphandle kwe-aluminiyam, enye yeemveliso ezinamandla kakhulu, ibe yomelele. Imfuneko yentsimbi nesamente iye yaqina, esembindini weenkqubo ezinkulu zokwakha zaseTshayina.

Njengoko imfuno yombane inyukile, iye yanyusa nexabiso lamalahle ukuvelisa loo mbane. Kodwa abalawuli baseTshayina abakhange bavumele izinto eziluncedo ukuba zinyuse amaxabiso ngokwaneleyo ukuhlawula iindleko ezinyukayo zamalahle. Ke izinto eziluncedo ziye zacotha ukusebenzisa amaziko azo ombane iiyure ezininzi.

“Lo nyaka ngowona nyaka umbi ukususela oko sawuvulayo lo mzi-mveliso phantse kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo,” watsho uJack Tang, umphathi jikelele walo mzi-mveliso. Iingcali zezoqoqosho ziqikelele ukuba ukuphazamiseka kwemveliso kwiifektri zaseTshayina kuya kwenza kube nzima kwiivenkile ezininzi eNtshona ukuba zibuyisele iishelufu ezingenanto kwaye zinokufaka isandla ekunyukeni kwamaxabiso kwiinyanga ezizayo.

Iinkampani ezintathu ze-elektroniki ezirhweba esidlangalaleni zaseTaiwan, kubandakanya ababoneleli ababini kwi-Apple kunye nenye kwiTesla, bakhuphe ingxelo ngeCawa ebusuku belumkisa ukuba iifektri zabo ziphakathi kwabo bachaphazelekayo. U-Apple akazange aphendule ngokukhawuleza, ngelixa uTesla akazange aphendule kwisicelo sokuphawula.

Akukacaci ukuba ukucutheka kwamandla kuya kuhlala ixesha elingakanani. Iingcali zase-China ziqikelele ukuba amagosa aya kuhlawula ngokuqhuba umbane kude kumashishini anzima kakhulu njengentsimbi, i-samente kunye ne-aluminium, kwaye yathi loo nto ingalungisa ingxaki.
