One way on looking on that is that it is bad, as cargo prices are very large. But, as in case of every problem, there is an opportunity here: we can shorten supply chains. Maybe established western Europe companies can have suppliers from Poland, Slovakia, Estonia, Ukraine, Morocco or Algeria instead of China or India or Vietnam.
Shorter route, more eco, as less fuel will be burned, if production is just around a corner it is easier to make sure manufacturing does not violate workers rights, does not abuse children, does not use slave workers. And we can stop feeding Chinese communistic regime, we see how dependence on country like Russia ends up.

These sources of cheap labor are already dried up. The managerial slumlords treating lower ranks like trash have troubles finding more subordinates, e.g. ask Musk how it's going hiring Poles and Ukrainians at his Branderburg's manufacture.
