I have a strong doubt that the same author calls the numbers “questionable” when the numbers go up…
I don't know what else you'd call chinese jumping from 27% to 51% of all steam users in one month.
So, if the rest of the world is off playing new games and China isn’t…
After reading the article I don't see how the numbers are questionable at all. This seems more like a case of numbers that don't fit the narrative that the author wants to push rather than numbers that are not believable.

That would be a lot of new people if at all accurate.
Choose one.

This specific issue, "the dramatic change of Chinese user" also has happened multiple times in recent years.
I just had a glance at this newest report, https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Softw...
In the very first item, it shows "Windows 11 64 bit 22.41% (change: -9.65%)"
This obviously doesn't make any sense. It either suffers from small sample size, or a skewed one.
My guess is Valve probably failed to deliver the surveys to players in an uniform, representative fashion.
Either way, don't take it seriously.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think it’s because there have been a few hit games lately that don’t work with Proton; while China requires every game to now have CCP approval causing few (and late) launches. So, if the rest of the world is off playing new games and China isn’t…
There is nothing happened in recent months that would make such large change on China's end.
The realistic number of Chinese steam user is always around 50% in recent years. If the previous survey has it only 20+%, it's simply wrong.
Steam Survey is never very reliable. They often have weird OS/Hardware stats, like GPU model etc. This specific issue, "the dramatic change of Chinese user" also has happened multiple times in recent years.
