They would 51% the network when they came back online, invalidating the fork the rest of the world was working on.

Assuming (unless you know for sure already) that the majority of the contributors to those Chinese pools are also within China and not people elsewhere in the world contributing significantly to them.

I was under the impression it was huge farms out in rural areas in China producing all that heat. No?

There are definitely some huge mines in China, I just wonder how much of their current hash is in house and whether that amount would be >= 51% the total hashing outside given that the numbers we often see at pools include worldwide contributors.
