Google has been trying to get a foothold in China for a couple of decades. The government there don't want Google, and Google has previously jumped through hoops to make apps and services just for that market to try to placate them. It wasn't successful before but they keep trying. I don't think Google would think twice about axing a YouTube channel if they were aware the content was anti-CCP and has a big enough audience.
