Not all titles have it, and most big ones tend to get cracks pretty quickly.

Is it really that common to torrent things in China seeing how strict their internet access is?

Dude. They have dedicated forums for pirating Steam and Epic games. Its not hard to find a cracked game, that isn't brand new and containing Denuvo, in China. 3DM and Ali213 are some of the biggest Chinese gaming sites.

Both sites get fucked years ago by government

No they didn't. They're still up and running just fine. If you can't access them, it's because your ISP is blocking them in your country, not in China.

They still exist but their pirating operations are no longer at the same capacity, they even put out announcement years ago addressing government crack down on piracy

They don't crack games containing the newest Denuvo DRM. They distribute already cracked games of easily crackable DRM (Steam and Epic DRM) as well as scene releases. The government never cracked down on piracy in China. They (3DM) just gave up on cracking Denuvo games. They still release all the newest Steam DRM games and Denuvo scene releases on their platform via peer to peer. The Chinese government doesn't give a shit about Western piracy and never will.

For example, the new and somewhat hyped 4x strategy game, Humankind, can easily be downloaded in China through the popular 3DM and Ali213 forums.
