China does not ban such passengers. However, Chinese embassies/consulates will refuse to issue health codes to transit passengers where direct flights exist. Obviously if health codes are not required then it's not an issue.
Having said that, prior to the current general transit ban coming into play in 2021, Taiwan had already banned transit passengers going to China. So it remains to be seen whether they will allow that along with other transits.
