Chromium uses the Microsoft root store on Windows, the Apple root store on Mac, and the system copy of NSS (Mozilla's crypto library) on Linux (I think). Therefore, given that the CNNIC root is in the Microsoft root store, Chrome trusts it, at least on Windows. I don't know if it's in the Apple root store.
