Jiang is well known for his strong support for Bitcoin Unlimited. The event attracted over 1,000 participants and Huobi is looking for a Core expert to answer questions from the Chinese investors on Bitcoin scaling.

So BIP148 could be merged:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0148.mediawiki This BIP will be activate between midnight August 1st 2017 (epoch time 1501545600) and midnight November 15th 2017 (epoch time 1510704000) if the existing segwit deployment is not activated before epoch time 1501545600. This BIP will cease to be active when the existing segwit deployment activates.
While this BIP is active, all blocks must set the nVersion header top 3 bits to 001 together with bit field (1<<1) (according to the existing segwit deployment). Blocks that do not signal as required will be rejected.
