This is what I have a question about.

Can China pressure every domestic company to use their certificate authority allowing them to decrypt all TLS traffic, or be blocked? And block all sites outside China?

Kazakhstan had attempted a similar move[1], albeit through PSAs rather than convincing device manufacturers to add certificates to end-user devices.

1 - I believe they do it

2 - they obviously do not want to block all traffic, since they can do it any day, but they don't.
