Both are examples of laws messing with tech availability and inspiring custom workarounds. Those workarounds then tend to suffer from getting less attention than the mainline version with regards to updates and maintenance. Chinese aviation might be hit by both import restrictions (by the Chinese government) and export restrictions (by the American government) at the same time.

That's true, but that's also hardly a unique case - many other countries have special requirements and demand (e.g. Russia also uses metric system).

Also many other countries demand Google Maps manipulation (USA being one of them by demanding hiding of military bases, not to mention many other border disputes over the world). So I'm not sure how authors point really links up to the difference in avionics in Boeing JUST for China.

What are those different requirements?
