"Search results for H&M in the Didi Chuxing ride-hailing app for all of China’s major cities yielded no results on Friday." The state is using their control of the economic system to inflict damage on specific importers, this is the kind of stuff that violates every concept of free/fair trade - which is fine, China can chose to play by those rules - but they have to be kicked out of the WTO etc., and there can't be any reasonable hope for trade parity, i.e. tariffs should rise and stay until they want to agree to roughly symmetrical rules. First and foremost, all Western importers should spend a few days not buying from some specific Chinese company. That would require coordination however.
