ALERT: USPS WILL BE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING THE GUARANTEE ON PRIORITY MAIL EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL DESTINED FOR CHINA
AND HONG KONG, EFFECTIVE MONDAY, FEB. 10, 2020, DUE TO WIDESPREAD AIRLINE CANCELLATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS INTO THIS AREA.

I imagine this will affect the other carriers as well for both import and export.

The USPS contracts with many airlines to deliver mail to other countries.  The airlines have been quoted on tv news of cancelling flights to China and Hong Kong to protect their employees and passengers from the corona virus. 

Mail will eventually arrive there - probably routed through third world countries.  Rumors abound of China paying big bucks to certain countries willing to accept and reroute mail going into and coming from China.
