This is a country that has "great firewall", social credit system for all citizens with centralized API etc. It's not a problem for them to create an API for this.

I agree it would be no problem. It would obviously be an enormous security problem. Apps would have to know the government ID of children. Nefarious entities could stage denial-of-service attacks against individuals.
Obviously China could do this. I am skeptical of the claim presented as hearsay without evidence.
If such a system exists, there should be easily found documentation for it.
