More-or-less it’s Pi-hole as a service: https://nextdns.io/
They have networks in China too!
"Pi-hole has the ability to block traditional website advertisements as well as advertisements in unconventional places, such as smart TVs and mobile operating system advertisements.[8]"

Seems like a terrible idea. The best DNS will always be a FLOSS powered recursive DNS that runs on a machine that's in your LAN where you have full control over it, not it control over you.
Just keeping the default (your ISPs DNS) is better than paying extra for some capitalists to let them handle your DNS queries.
It’s a bit much to say it’s a terrible idea. Not everyone wants to or is able to run their own DNS sinkhole, and some would rather just outsource it, which is fine as long as they understand the compromises and risks.
