Half of you would have been birthed out of the wrong orifice.

What would happen if gravity stood up and said NO MORE!  where would the earth fall too and would it fall down for us or for china?

The earth would fall outward from the sun along with all of the other planets in a direction dependant on its position in orbit around the sun, along the plane of the milky way. Think of the planet as a ball on a string that you are swinging around over your head, and all of a sudden you let go of the string. That's what would happen to the earth and all objects orbiting the sun.

At the same time, all of the stars in the milky way would begin to fly outward into the rest of the universe just like the planets from the sun. This would happen to all celestial objects in all galaxies in the universe.

All objects that aren't bound via intermolecular interactions or  chemical would be repelled by one another due to the electrons in all of the atoms that make up the objects. Once gravity lets go, the air molecules would immediately explode from the earths surface at a fairly high rate of speed. All sand, soil, water, pebbles, boulders, and loose pieces of anything would also be blown away from the earths surface and each other, and would join the shock wave of satellite debris and atmosphere that would be quickly forming an expanding shell around the planet. Lose objects inside of anchored buildings/structures would evenly disperse into the interior space, assuming they weren't blown out of any doors/windows during the mass exodus of the atmosphere. While the mantle and crust would be left mostly solid and connected in the initial few seconds, the hot iron in the inner and outer core would soon boil and blow the outer layers apart. These small chunks of solid rocky crust and molten mantle would disperse uniformly in the same manner as the rest of the planet.

This would happen with all of the planets, the most spectacular being the gas giants...which would form massive spherical shockwaves that would spread out into nebulae, eventually diffusing into nearly nothing.

The sun and all stars in the universe would instantly explode from the inside outward, releasing most of the thermal and potential energy that was stored up in each star in giant spherical shock waves that would slowly spread out like the gas giant planets. This shock wave of high energy particles would likely catch up with the remnants of the planets and tear them to pieces, ultimately incorporating their matter into it's shock wave.

I'm not sure whether the singularities of black holes would re-expand. If they did, it would be the most spectacular and destructive events to take place in the universe. If the singularity doesn't re-expand, then the loss of the event horizon would allow any photons being emitted by the singularity or orbiting inside of the former event horizon to release all at once, along with any matter orbiting the singularity both inside and outside of the event horizon. Either way, the supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies would truly be a site to behold.

Any chunks of solid stuff bound together by intermolecular interactions (like the leftovers of earth's crust and mantle) would eventually tear each other apart via high speed collisions as they all race to fill any space in the universe that has slightly less stuff in it than the rest of the universe. Electromagnetic interactions would take over as the dominant force that shapes the large-scale structure of the universe.

We would all be doomed though

I believe the current consensus is that spacetime is curved...meaning that if you start from earth and travel in a straight line long enough, you will end up back at earth coming from the opposite direction. This implies a sort of roundness to the universe. This is assuming that the universe is held constant in its current form, which it is not. The universe is expanding, and the expansion appears to speed up and accelerate faster the further out you look. There is a point way out there where the distance b/w you and that point is growing faster than the speed of light (even though the points are not moving through said space faster than the speed of light). At this point, any light or information emitted from that far point will never reach you. This is called the cosmological event horizon. Therefore, you (being restricted to the speed of light) would never be able to travel fast enough for long enough to reach the "edge" of the universe to get back to your starting point.

Now if the universe is infinite, then the law of total probability implies that if you picked and arbitrary direction, and traveled in that same direction for an incredibly long time and distance, you would happen upon an exact replica of earth in an exact replica of the known universe. To you, it would appear that you have finally come full circle and that the universe is indeed round. By this point the universe would have likely ceased to exist via heat death.

So from what we can tell, the universe is kinda round but in a practical sense kinda not.

Yep...
