I do not think this is appropriate. They are banks, not agents of our government, and they have no obligation to get involved in our foreign policy.

They’re not “our” banks.
They are China’s.
China is a big, powerful communist country. Banks there, are Chinese banks.

They are all state banks. The are the arm of Chinese state. A private bank in China is an oxymoron. U.S. has been levying sanctions on banks which aid enemies. They are free to ignore U.S. demands, if they are willing to accept the price. This is not different from slapping sanction on some companies which sold critical military technology to an enemy state.
Trump tries to win a war without firing a shot. We are way past the stage where we can quibble and haggle about details to make sure we have perfect solution which cause damage to nobody except the intended target. We are left with blunt instruments to get the job done. If this is not allowed, then there will be real fireworks.
