Suzhou internal conflict: drones kill 21 and cause large-scale power outage
A large power outage can disrupt electricity-dependent production and local industrial operations.

How it reaches your house.
Starting from State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Electricity (Grid Power) →Shortage riskA large power outage can quickly constrain industrial gas production because the edge is marked as highly electricity-dependent and critical.
92% confidenceState Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) →Shortage riskElectricity (electrolytic refining)
A large outage in SGCC-served territory can reduce electricity available for electrolytic refining, and the edge’s 45% share with low substitutability and long replacement lead time suggests a strong transmission.
72% confidenceElectricity (Grid Power) →Shortage riskBecause the outage is in Suzhou, China, the shock can reduce regional electricity availability within the country, though the country-share edge makes this a broader, less direct effect.
Hop 2
China →Shortage riskChina accounts for 98% of gallium supply, so a China power outage can materially curtail global gallium output.
97% confidenceChina →Shortage riskArtificial Plant Plastics (PE/PP/PVC + Wire)
China provides 94.8% of this plastics-and-wire input, making it highly exposed to a China outage.
96% confidenceChina →Shortage riskChina supplies 95% of terbium metal, so outages there can quickly tighten terbium availability.
Hop 3
Crude Oil Feedstock →Shortage riskCrude oil feedstock is a critical, dependency_strength=1 input to gasoline and diesel, so a feedstock disruption directly constrains output.
95% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →Shortage riskCrude oil feedstock is a critical, dependency_strength=1 input to home heating oil, so a feedstock disruption directly constrains output.
95% confidenceArtificial Plant Plastics (PE/PP/PVC + Wire) →Shortage riskChina accounts for 94.8% of this input's supply, so a large power outage there sharply constrains the dominant source of artificial plant plastics.
