This bill, if enacted, would probably be repealed shortly after it's put to first use as it would likely create an international crisis. It's one thing to block stuff to the end-viewer China-style, but forcing the shutdown of the underlying infrastructure of these networks would also mean shutting down access to these networks worldwide. And in cases of something like Google.CO.UK shutting down foreign networks by the authority of the President of the United States.
It wouldn't bode over well.
Also, if a network they shut down on the dime without any legal process happened to be a private corporation, it would most likely end up being shot down in court as unconstitutional.
