If Chinese miners are really out of patience with Core delays the only way you will see it is a drastic increase in Classic nodes in July after the halving. Then Core either forks or the miners will do it for them with Classic. If this is a game of chicken I bet the core devs blink first and decide to hard fork to 2 MB. No one likes to have power taken away from them.
Its
economic nodes that matter , another sybil attack with nodes spun up with amazon won't fool the majority of users who don't agree with classic's scaling roadmap.
