Except for registries with very special policies (such as the blocking used by some East Asian registries), the language association doesn't make too much sense.However, as the East Asian languages might cause blocking, every .COM user is required to provide a language tag. So in that sense, every gTLD will have very special policies.
The .com and .net domains are operated by VeriSign:
I understand from sales and renewals that the registrants also have adopted a Chinese blocking.
I suggest you also go and visit the CNNIC site when you consider Chinese issues.

Do you know whether any of the other gTLDs have adopted the Chinese blocking? Also, does any registry have blocking for any languages other than Chinese? Thanks,
