Technically, China hasn't banned online studies. They had a longstanding 
reservations about qualifications based purely on online study. This was 
waved due to COVID-19, but the waiver has now been lifted.

There are provisions for students who can't get back to campus and has 
to study online. One example given is students who were studying in 
Ukraine and can't get to campus due to war. Interestingly, China is 
using the term "war" for the conflict, unlike Russia.
