Having greater capacity for import can only be good. There is nothing to be gained by reaching an upper limit on storage capacity. America has a massive coastline and its letting it all go to waste with these non-postpanamax tech ports.
If you want to see how bad it really is, there is a game you can play: Look up the game called "Transocean the shipping company". Pic related.
The game uses real data on modern ports and you will get a taste on how limited USA is in this aspect. American ports literally aren't even on par with third world, believe it or not.

Eh, America didn't really export "colonial culture" to European countries who had been colonizing since the Middle Ages. Britain for example, had seized lands from the Irish for their plantations in the 1600s in Ulster.

Colour me surprised. Also Ford was unique in that regard, most other workers were bringing in a few dollars a week for 6 days of 10 or 12 hours. When they tried to strike and do something about it the national guard would come and shoot at them.

This is Otto Thälman, leader of the WinRAR Republic in Germany. His brutal regime opened over 100,000,000 brothels and spread decadence and Jewish physics across Europe. Still think communism is ok?

Porky wasn't making enough money and the greedy working class kept striking. So he got together with like minded leaders in China to use their infinite number of pseudo slaves to separate the worker from the product of his labor even further.

This whole ports conversation sounds like a chicken and egg scenario. How do you know largers ports don't come after a need is established? China produces more shit than the US because corporations can pay them less money to do so. This is what facilitates the need for a big shipping infrastructure in China.

This isn’t entirely true or else Africa would be the center of world manufacturing and not China. There are other reasons, the Chinese government is very protectionist especially when it comes to their essential industries. They use the state and provide subsidies to Chinese manufacturers which are illegal under the WTO agreements with a present going back to Bretton Woods.
Their workers are very well-educated and skilled for the price that companies pay for them.I’d also point out that China devalues it’s currency and it’s PPP skews to the lower-end meaning that it takes less money to buy similar commodities on the Chinese internal market than in America. This might change as China moves away from an export centered model
