Well China doesn't actually specifically ban skeletons, most companies in China just censor themselves and remove skeletons because of the slight chance that their skeletons in the context of the game would violate China's rules about religion and superstition, and thus get rejected, losing that company a fuckton of money. This usually happens for games that haven't been released yet, though.
So as far as LoL is concerned, there is a chance we could get a skeleton character. But they'd have to find a way to differentiate it from Karthus (As he used to be a skeleton) and Skeleton King (Or doom, or whatever his name is now. Damn Chinese censors :P) from Dota.
