China is currently the largest market for Japanese-produced anime, beating out the United States by a long shot. They have had numerous Chinese-Japanese co-productions for a few years now because the market is so huge and it's only growing. (In fact you can watch a lot of these on Crunchyroll since they air in Japan and have a Japanese cast.)

It's entirely possible Attack on Titan does not air there for various reasons, but China has multiple streaming services that pay to license anime just like Crunchyroll and Funimation do for English speakers. As a whole, China has no problem with anime. yeah but China regardless bans anime for a lot of reasons, censorship primarily being one of them, but other reasons, just for the sake of it, ban it cause it's Japan.
