my users are all in china, because some reason they cannot visist chrome extension store, so I give them .crx and .zip build by my code. but in new chromes, they cannot install .crx, and chrome will disable .zip. It make so many trouble here, so how can I help my customers?Is there any way?

No - outside of the Chrome Developer build, it is not possible to sideload CRX files into extensions for security reasons. You can however give them the main source files, and load in the extension via "Load unpacked extensions" under the Extensions menu - however this will not make it possible to update them.

Just use a Chromium fork and you will not have any strange message to disable the dev mode/extension: https://chromium.woolyss.com/
