By forcing Chinese-Americans in particular (as in Chinese, who also hold American citizenship) to choose between their work or their citizenship he is defacto threatening to strip their US citizenship. Dual citizens have basically been handed a choice: give up your US citizenship to continue working in your field or find work in the US.
Well sorry it is totally different. As US citizens they must follow the laws of the US. Break the law and go to jail. If they do not want to go to jail they must stop working in China. Alternatively they can tell the US to go fuck itself and renounce their US citizenship. But they have to do it explicitly. The US will not strip their citizenship on their own.
