A 366-meter-long container ship docks at Shanghai’s Yangshan Port, where every berth is packed like a Black Friday mall 🛳️💥. This scene isn’t a one-off—it’s part of China’s export marathon that didn’t hit pause for the Spring Festival. Yangshan, one of the world’s busiest ports, handled over 850,000 TEUs (shipping containers) in January alone—smashing records!
Nonstop Hustle, Global Muscle
While many celebrated holidays, cranes at Shengdong Wharf worked 24/7, moving 30,000 TEUs. Manager Chen Jianfeng told CMG: \"Our transfer volume is up 15-20% from last year—every crane is in the game.\" 🏗️📈
From Yangshan to Yiwu’s trade hubs, factories and warehouses churned out everything from EVs 🔌 to smartphones 📱, feeding global demand. Analysts say this \"holiday-proof\" output signals China’s trade resilience, even as supply chains elsewhere wobble.
