Does a blockchain being China-regulatory compliant make it haram?

Operating within a government regulatory framework does not automatically make a blockchain haram. However Chinese regulatory compliance for blockchain networks introduces specific governance transparency considerations that fully decentralized blockchains do not face. China's blockchain regulatory environment includes more extensive government oversight capabilities than most other jurisdictions. For Muslim investors who value genuine decentralization and censorship resistance as expressions of Islamic governance transparency principles, this is a meaningful consideration to weigh. The infrastructure itself is not prohibited but the governance implications of that compliance require honest acknowledgment in any investment decision.
