Of course it goes both ways. Economically it would be devastating on both sides. China owns roughly 1.3 trillion of the US's debt, which is not as massively devastating when considered that we owe 6 trillion to ourselves. On the flip side of the same coin, China owes the US roughly 1 trillion.
Forbes estimates that China's economy is 175% dependent on ours.
The economic devastation is the main reason that war with China is basically the US military's biggest nightmare. The secondary concern is the massive amount of people that China has. Due to their gov't style, they could just conscript everybody into service. Of course, they wouldn't have anything to pay the soldiers.
