Power Outages in China

In recent weeks we (work) have received emails from two different subcontractors in China advising production delays because the mains power is going off for typically two days each week.  I gather it is some form of power rationing where the companies are told in advance what days the power will be off.

While we are on the vein of overseas issues, we buy stainless steel screws which it turns out were previously manufactured in Japan.  We buy through Australian resellers and they are saying that the Japanese factories are still not operating after the tsunami.
