The US could tailor laws that would have the same effect, but would that actually change the situation?
As an example, they could make it illegal for all video hosting companies operating in the US to censor videos on Taiwan, Tienanmen and Tibet.

It looks very similar to discrimination based on national origin, especially if the company does not recognize the nation sovereignty. But even if that would fail, I am sure that a team full of lawyer could find something which would be incompatible with Chinese law.
