Are you suggesting that if trade with the US stops due to a US-China dispute or war there is literally nobody else in the entire world to trade with?

Pretty much that’s the case. US is #1 buyer.

US accounts for 16% of Chinese exports. 84% is the rest of the world.

So while it's the biggest trade partner, it's not the end all and be all. It's about as important as what the UK was to Ireland before Brexit. Stopping trade isn't helpful, but it's not a showstopper either.
