No, incorrect. More like Tencent vs Chinese Government. It's not that China rejected it, it's because Tencent and Riot are stuck in publishing limbo. NPPA froze all game publishing last year and it was just recently that some domestic titles started to be approved. Doesn't mean it's a silver lining for Valorant, but it's a step forward at least.
VCT APAC LCQ 2021 TEAM ALLOCATION UPDATE
The team allocation of the VCT APAC LCQ will be updated due to logistical issues that have the potential to impact the overall competitive integrity of the tournament. As a result the slots previously allocated to teams from China will be redistributed to other regions.

45 games out of 87 were approved in April. Most are from more minor, domestic-oriented game publishers, and not from Tencent nor NetEase (who are the major publishers.)
"Only 45 licenses have been awarded so far, which is still a tiny percentage of the total number of games that are allowed to be published in China every year."
