The sails reduce the cost of the voyage and the ships carbon footprint. There are no suggestions that future cargo ships will be entirely powered by sails.
If the prevailing winds in the Pacific allow it there's no reason why sail assisted ships couldn't carry much of China's exporters to the Americas.
