Most multinational firms have been caught by surprise. This is not the first time they have suffered shocks to their Asian supply chains.

More recently, Donald Trump’s trade war with China has exposed the risks of supply chains that rely too heavily on the mainland. But the bosses of such businesses have done little to prepare for shocks such as that inflicted by the outbreak of the new coronavirus.
