It's uncertain what will be affected, but whatever freight currently inbound form China will be the last for the next TWO WEEKS.
NOTE: A "blank sailing," also known as a "void sailing," is a scheduled sailing that a carrier has canceled, potentially skipping a single port or entire leg of a route, or canceling the entire service string.
I don't get much from China directly, but I'm not fool enough to think they don't provide parts for the industries that I do purchase from, in example Chinese machine shop parts for farming parts to eventually down the line get food from non-China locations.
Those are long-term goods. There is time to find alternatives, before the existing pieces break down or require significant repair, but it is good that it is so obvious and open that such alternatives will be required soon.

Fun stuff.
