A number of Chinese firms, government research labs and other entities are expected to face restrictions similar to Huawei, according to two people with knowledge of the plans.

In effect, any firm that uses American-made technologies would be blocked from selling to the Chinese entities that are targeted by the administration. It’s not yet clear which Chinese firms and labs would be affected.

They'll be blocked from buying, selling, or engaging in any sort of relationship. Not only for US firms, but for all businesses and organizations around the world moving forward. This is how the Entity List works; if you get on it, you're cut out of the US market. Anyone who violates that also gets cut out of the US market. We're using these same exact tools against the Ruskies right now.

Yea but it seems they would be investigating after the fact, which wouldn't necessarily block the transfer of tech

Well, it's no different than any other law. Shit gets put on the books and if its broken, an investigation after the fact happens. Assuming they're guilty, punishments ensue.
