DS did negative reports about the CCP, in the past.
I don't think they would be willing to host someone exposing them.
I'm not a regular reader of dailystormer. But I'm pretty sure Anglin & DS have become pro-China in the past few years. Example: https://dailystormer.cn/gay-canadian-president-attacks-china-claims-hes-going-to-compete-with-them/
And this isn't the first time Anglin had to turn to China for help. A few years back, Anglin had to turn to a China for DNS services.
Neo-Nazi website, the Daily Stormer, has circumvented its ban from US-based servers by getting its DNS service from China, which has been “spread over a large number of individual IP addresses, all of which are served from China”, as observed by Ars Technica in 2019. China has the most stringent online censorship laws in the world and there is no way that the Daily Stormer website could be hosted without the CCP’s knowledge and approval.

DNS != hosting
DNS servers don't store anything besides the domain names and their NS IP addresses.
Hosting DS in China wouldn't be possible since their website contains negative articles regarding the CCP. The other problem would be the latency due to the Great Firewall, that is also dynamically blocking access from both sides.
We're talking about 3 different things.
1) DNS services. A few years back, dailystormer turned to a company in China for DNS services, in particular for DDoS protection. Back then, I think dailystormer was registered as dailystormer.su (not China). I posted about this 2 years ago on Stormfront.org: https://www.stormfront.org/forum/t1315472/
2) Domain Registration. Virtually every domain registrar has banned dailystormer. Anglin lost dailystormer.su, dailystormer.name, etc. Now he's down to dailystormer.cn (China).
3) Webhosting. I don't think Anglin / Weev / DS has ever actually used China for webhosting or co-locating servers.
