> My understanding is that Chinese bans on US technology have reasons clearly codified in law and would not be banned if they followed the regulations.

My understanding is that Chinese law is usually pretty vague and unclear, especially in areas like this, and in any case doesn't actually bind the government.

Yeah, my understanding is a lot of Chinese laws are vague on purpose so that they can be interpreted to benefit companies the state likes, while punishing those the state does not like

Didn't a judge just stop the ban?
