If anyone is interested the Shanghai Containerized Shipping Index is a great source to monitor exports.[1]

The overall trend is down, consistent with the tenor of the OP article, and consistent with most of the economic news coming out of China.

I am not familiar with any of this, but could a lower SCSI be caused by more shipping supply being available as opposed to fewer containers being shipped? Is there an index that tracks the number of containers shipped?

These are the number of individual containers exported from a port. Has nothing to do with capacity, ships, etc.
