Unless you subscribe to the theory that China deliberately foisted COVID on the world then I'd say....no.....China is not to blame.

Its the News that only mentions the Auto sector electronics being affected, but its any popular electronics thats it short supply now. But the shortage is affecting everything else, so its snowballing. Thats what happens when corporations put all their eggs in China's basket . They trusted a foreign communist country with controlling their factories and making their products. China cares about China , they only care about your company as long as it makes money flow into china .
I don't think China deliberately released covid.. but i think the accidently did .
We see China take over HongKong and soon Taiwan . And you still trust them ?

Btw, China doesn't raise the price of parts it exports.. it lowers the price. Thats how it gains the huge market share. Thats what it did with solar panels. It lowered the price so low all other manufacturers globally shut down. They now have a monopoly in world solar panel manufacturing .

Yes , the worsening global situation is getting out of control . But its partly because of poor leadership and decisions by todays western governments who care more about thinking they can stop global warming ( which is impossible ) than caring about lowering fuel and food prices. Sanctioning russian oil only makes russia stronger and the rest of the world weaker. In 10 years russia will still have lots of oil and the rest of the world will be a desparate mess.
