The China/US link is frequently overestimated it’s only 14% of total US trade. China isn’t even the US’s largest trading partner, it’s 3rd after Canada and Mexico, with a small lead over the EU. Really though the top 4 spots are all fairly close to each other.

I know that at least for Mexico, a lot of the trade with China has final destination the US.

That’s true of many countries trade with Mexico. But again only 10% of Mexico’s trade is with China.

Same thing for all countries. This also applies to China. Stuff they produce can’t be made 100% in China. Though I’m sure China is playing games to get around import restrictions.
