While I understand why you would be concerned (television reporters do a great job at creating concern), I can tell you that the global logistics issues are already in the rear-view at my company and many others who deal with manufacturing in Asia.
Inflation is not nearly as big as a problem as the current news client makes it seem. Inflation always has happened and always will happen -it's niether new nor a crisis. It's just a buzz word. I've been around for nearly 40 years and we've had inflation the entire time. In fact, it was far worse in the late 80's and early 90's. I wrote my thesis on it. We still got our trains.
I also doubt the war in Ukraine will affect our dealings with China. They have been sending my company production samples and signing contracts all month. Ultimately, people want our busniess. Without us buying crap, their economy slows. our economy doesn't rely on Russia for much other than transition metals.
I don't mean to turn this into a differnt type of forum, but I studied economics (and war) for way longer than I should have, so I figured I'd ease your fears
