According to CCN, 77% of the Bitcoin network hash power are from Chinese pools but they are not based in China.

The 77% is the cumulative hash power contributed by many individual miners globally. A miner from the USA, Sweden and Korea can contribute computing power to Chinese mining pools. Hence, only a small portion of the hash power actually comes from mainland China.

The 77% of the Bitcoin network hash power come from China based mining pools like, Antpool, BTC.com, BTC.TOP, ViaBTC, and F2Pool which also operate international mining pools that support miners from countries like the US, Sweden, Norway, and China.
