Damn, though at least the easy explanation is that you are in China. Have you tried contacting Steam support? The game might not be available officially in China?

**Update**
Turns out it was nothing to do with Steam at all.....PayPal reversed the payment themselves because they thought a 3rd party had tried to access my account.
Steam support said they will reactivate my account if and when PayPal sends them the money back.

Glad the issue wasn't really steam. Regarding your inability to join the steam forums, there are a good many email domains that are blocked for a variety of reasons (mainly because they ate spammy or otherwise problematic). Maybe try a gmail account or summat?

Yay! Glad to hear that. Well, sort of. PayPal still making lots of mistakes is not good to hear about.

Yeah, surprised me PayPal doing this though because I've had my business account with them for years and make and receive payments frequently, so I'm not sure why they singled out this one. Maybe it was just random.
Also kinda worries me that Steam would disable your entire account for a problem with one game. It was the only game I had, so it didn't really matter, but if I'd had other games in my library, which I wouldn't have been able to play then that would have been really annoying.
From Steam:
"If the dispute is closed and the funds are released back to Steam, the account will be reactivated. However if PayPal closes the dispute by Reversing the Payment, meaning they send the funds for the purchase back to you, the Steam account will remain locked and you will lose access to all of the games on the account. There are no options to resolve a dispute once PayPal has closed the case."

All your games? Are they for real?! That is outrageous! So if Paypal buggers up even further, you'd lose ALL the games you've paid for permenantly? These people need to get their act together!
