If the Russian want to take there ball and go home we just need to replace a small portion of the station to keep it afloat.
Just how much of the station is Russian supplied...

China's ambition after space station

"The future of China's manned space program, is not a moon landing, which is quite simple, or even the manned Mars program which remains difficult, but continual exploration the earth-moon space with ever developing technology."

A series of space missions is planned to verify key technology for the space station. Around 2020, a medium-sized space station with three modules and weighing 60 tonnes will be put into orbit.
