Unless you can effectively shut down smuggling you won't stop people from getting bullets. You can also bet with a looming trade war that the Chinese government would be interested in the hard currency made from selling bullets to criminals.
Regular folks tend not to buy black market guns or ammo, which is why gun control works all over the world, on top of this most of the world production of non military guns and ammo is for the US market, if that is shut down the companies in both the US and the rest of the world will close down those production lines, a gun company in China isn't going to bother to make guns for the minimal illegal market that would remain in the US, a market that would mostly be filled by existing guns in the US.

Gun control would work I the US just easily as it has everywhere else, the shear volume of guns means it would take a few years longer.
Politically the US doesn't want it yet but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work
