There is a significant list of business/Technologies that were banned by China and they are more than successful:

This is not the first time China has banned crypto. According to Cointelegraph, Since 2009, China has forbidden BTC and crypto 19 times. Out of these 19 bans, 11 stops came directly from Chinese and Hong Kong regulators like People Bank of China (PBOC) applying or hinting at enforcing a crypto ban.

According to Senator Patrick Joseph Toomey Jr. (R-PA) tweet, the United States can benefit a lot from anti-crypto actions by the Chinese government.
He said:
China’s authoritarian crackdown on crypto, including #Bitcoin, is a big opportunity for the U.S. It’s also a reminder of our huge structural advantage over China.

Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle Inc and USD Coin (USDC), lists two models for the United States’ response to Chinese hostility.
1/5 A message to US and Western Policymakers on how to think about China's approach to crypto and blockchain. China opposes the Western system of values built on openness, transparency, privacy, free market competition and so forth.

2/5 The internet itself as an expression of these values , and it is one of the reasons that China has always fought to control the internet. These values are also deeply at the core of crypto and blockchains, enshrining them into new economic and governance infrastructure.
