Dried peppercorns are found in most Chinese kitchens. It's not used in every dish, but it's certainly a staple in any Chinese pantry. The related Sansho peppercorn is used like black pepper in Japanese cooking.

Dried peppercorns are not necessarily Sichuan peppers, which are distinctly used in Sichuan cuisine. So while it may be a staple in Chinese pantry (and mine too) it is certainly tied to specific cuisine.

Looks like we're quickly going into semantics but I maintain that it isn't "a staple" of Chinese cuisine in general. It's very regional and many regions will not notice a shortage of them.
Bread is a staple of French (and European) cuisine, cayenne pepper is found is found in most kitchens but isn't.
