The RIR count is what was allocated to organisations registered in China; DB-IP’s count is where it estimates addresses are used. DB-IP places 9,082,852 more IPv4 addresses in China than were allocated here, which happens when networks registered elsewhere (cloud providers, multinationals) operate in the country.
