I’m guessing you think it was a conspiracy of some sort.

Just watch the movie. It subverts the entirety of what was created in the original Pacific Rim movie to suit Chinese audiences. They kill the Japanese character (China hates Japan) from the first one right off the bat, right away introduce a bunch of "super cool" techy Chinese, led by one of the leading Chinese actresses in China who saves the day about 3 or 4 times, including the end. Large portions of the film are entirely in Chinese, with subtitles. The movie even pauses for a moment early on to explain to us the Chinese equivalent of the word "Kaiju."
No way in Hell was Del Toro ever going to play ball on such a thing.
