Accidental girdling has correlated with fruiting like crazy on one of our trees. Another jujube did nothing this year.

Are those girdling scissors? Which item did you purchase on Wish?

grafting knife works ok.
But I wouldn't go to crazy with this grinding, unproperly done it can also kill a tree

Yes girdling scissors. I have that German named  thing, I only remember that my nephew buy it in Wish.com. The Internet site is similar to YouTube. Just cut, but don't remove the bark. The branch needs to heal.

I have three Jujube plants ( var  mauritania). They were from seed and today are  4 meters tall. All three flower but only one bore a few fruits last year. Do you think your technique would help fruiting ? How does it work ?

yes it must work. You live in tropical area. Remember, just make cut. No bark removal. (airlayer ).make cut in up to 1 1/4" diameter branches.

Snuggly tied a rope around the trunk at about 5 - 6 feet, to pull tree up as it was falling over. After a while, the tree started to grow over the rope, and it was impossible to untie at that point. Flowered wonderfully afterwards. Other jujube did nothing this year.

Simple tek, tightly wrap the trunk with rope (one ring will do) and wait.

Yes a good method that I do with avocado. However don't tonight entirely, put a bamboo stick and tight to it so you can still have sap moving.
