Am curious do phones like Oneplus have unlockable bootloaders in China?

Potentially, but even if they did that, the sites with all the good custom android ROMs are probably all blocked by their "great firewall."

Besides, the second you connect to the internet or cell service there, they have instant access to your device. There's a reason why they have one of, if not the most, advanced systems set up to monitor and track you no matter where you go or what you do.

They already do, most apps require a legit id to create an account and your id would have your age and thus time limit access. Certain hours are prohibited at night until morning
