Thanks, that’s the problem with the obvious, people tend to ignore it in this case.
Couple of reasons:

Lets say that California got 40% of the shipping traffic coming into the country. There’s no way that the Panama Canal would be able to deal with that increase in traffic in an efficient manner. It would be overwhelmed with ships just sitting at anchor, like they were during covid, waiting to be told when to enter. With the CCP controlling all of it.
