You've also missed the fact that without the trade relationships that China has with the West, that domestic industry will dry up, since they cannot produce all those smart phones without raw materials, that they primarily purchase from the West.

Yeah?
What raw materials are those then?
You may want to look at the raw materials needed to make batteries for Electric vehicles etc and check out China's huge market share. Plus China's huge market share of EV battery manufacturing.

“What raw materials are those then?”

Well, you know, economic statistics like that are available with a couple punches on your keyboard:

“The top imports of China are Crude Petroleum ($150B), Integrated Circuits ($144B), Iron Ore ($99B), Cars ($42B), and Soybeans ($37.4B), importing mostly from Japan ($133B), South Korea ($131B), United States ($122B), Germany ($106B), and Chinese Taipei ($104B).”
