What has this to do with China *supposedly* controlling Bitcoin?

I think it's a better wording if you say that Chinese mining farms are more or less controlling Bitcoin. If you look at how far their influence reaches when it comes to touching consensus, it's obvious that they can just decide to support whatever proposal they want.

Even when it's not in the benefit of the community and the whole Bitcoin eco system. But hey, I guess that's also part of the freedom aspect of Bitcoin since it's open source..

I beg to disagreed with you answered, whenever china don't have a capability to control bitcoin. It's not because they owned the biggest percentage of mining farm of bitcoin it doesn't mean they have the power to control it. We all knew that bitcoinis decentralized digital currency, meaning there is no other institution that can control bitcoin ever.

If the Chinese miners were unified and collaborative in their approach, then they could theoretically gain control over the blockchain and thus Bitcoin.

However, in the real world what would probably happen is the core devs would code and release an update that would checkpoint the Chinese 'attack' and return control of the chain back to the economic majority (aka banks/coinbase/blockstream).

yes that is true that china have more users as compare to other countries but i think i do not think that they can control bitcoin, because the users of bitcoin are now present every where and therefore i think it is not becoming more and more difficult to control bitcoin by a single country.

china just played their last card ... and it was a big fat bluff.

Stick a fork in them, they're done.

Electricity costs are important but China is not the only country out there with cheap electricity tariffs

It looks more like their main advantage stems from their first-hand access to mining hardware. There have been rumors that behind some mining pools asic manufacturers are hiding, so it shouldn't surprise anyone they have such an edge. But they are said to be nearing a technological limit already, therefore this advantage is going to diminish soon. It is the same as with CPUs today, the frequencies of processors are no longer growing since it is impossible to overcome physical limits. The bottom line is that the competition between miners should increase once there will be no more growth in the hash rates per hardware unit

yes that is right to say, China is the biggest support of bitcoin and the majority of bitcoin users are from China, i think their government is also taking interest in bitcoin .

Well they have 50% or i think 51% of hashpower so yeah i guess i could say that they're controlling bitcoin.
If they feel like it they can attack the bitcoin network anytime but i guess
The core devs has the solution against the 51% attack.

no one can control the bitcoin unless the users of its own, china control bitcoin I guess it's just a rumor that in fact there was its large, many mine miner bitcoin, the stock ownership of BTC there are also many, so when there is a sale on a large scale in china then it will affect the price of bitcoin

China "potentially" controls bitcoin because of the large mining farms in there. They can do a 51% attack if they want to which means that they would be able to create their own chain which would disrupt bitcoin in general. However for whales and such, I think they are equally distributed and not all whales are found in Chinese exchanges.
