On Aug. 12, a series of massive explosions occured in a warehouse area near to the port in the Chinese city of Tianjin - local video of the event shows several huge fireballs generated at a facility run by a Chinese 3PL.

Bindiya Vakil, founder and CEO of supply chain risk management solution provider Resilinc, has been studying this situation closely, and she offers her perspectives on these questions and more in this video interview with SCDigest editor Dan Gilmore.
