This is a regional problem. There are other ports in the US (East Coast, etc). I don’t see how it will be a global problem. Sure it will affect supply and demand significantly, but it’s not a global catastrophe.


You're suggesting the east coast ports for stuff shipped from China?


Based on container port statistics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_container_port...) LA and Long Beach are not very big compared to Rotterdam and Antwerp. And Hamburg is roughly in the middle between LA and Long Beach in size.

LA and Long Beach don't seem big enough to cause a global problem.
