Not exactly. They banned VLC because a bunch of Chinese companies were spreading illegitimate versions of VLC disguised as the real package, and installing spyware alongside the media player.
Not the best way to tackle the problem, but I think it's important to know exactly what happened. Also - I think the ban's gone - I just downloaded VLC yesterday. Probably because VideoLAN took the government to court.
