I was interested in seeing if that is the case, it turns out that is actually discrimination:

https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/nationalorigin.cfm

"The law prohibits employers from hiring only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents unless required to do so by law, regulation or government contract."

Based on that, as long as someone in the US is legally allowed to work, you cannot turn them down because they are a Chinese National.

This doesn’t stop Washington DC from discriminating against Chinese and Russian job seekers.

In which cases does the US government ("Washington DC"?) discriminate against Chinese and Russian applicants more than other noncitizens for defense roles?

Yes, you could hire Japanese citizens and not Chinese and comply with that.

So there could be a law or regulation in place for specific industries is what it says. Not to mention any large government contract could specify it. So based on that, as long as someone in the U.S is legally allowed to work, there might be any number of areas in which they are not allowed to work.
