That's not true. That wording is pretty broad and leaves it up to the Secretary of Commerce to determine "any subsidiary of that entity". They may not ban something such as Riot, but it doesn't mean they can't. This is one giant guillotine over any company associated with Tencent.
The sword of Damocles, and the hair holding it up is exceptionally fine. I'd expect court challenges though, and given courts seem to be full on TDS I'm not going to be holding my breath
