> Note that China already controls ~65% of Bitcoin hash rate, so if they wanted to execute this right now, they probably could.

When you say "China" do you mean like an actor that can make coordinated decisions? Or just a geographic region? I'm asking out of curiosity because yeah there's a lot of miners in China across many geographic regions but I never saw any evidence that they even talking to each other, even less coordinated enough to agree on making a decision as drastic at attacking the Bitcoin blockchain.
