Here's an interesting article citing some recent research which claims that the majority of mining power is in China, and those miners may have some perks that others outside the country do not have.
Here's the article.
https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/10/08/china-means-intent-destroy-bitcoin/ It talks about whether China could destroy Bitcoin, or perhaps use it in some other way.
What do you think? Does China control Bitcoin? If so, is it the government or no? Are these Chinese Bitcoin mining farms working together? What might China do with Bitcoin (government or no) in the future? AKA, attempt to destroy Bitcoin (would they be successful, do you think), use it to bring more wealth into the country or personal pockets, use it to attack other nations, etc?
Looking forward to your thoughts,

We cannot remove the fact that China had the major contribution regards with Bitcoin mining and I admit as well that they have big impact in this industry but I don't think they have the full control on Bitcoin. Perhaps you we are all aware that no one can manipulate Bitcoin because if it does then we cannot say it as decentralized.
It's a big NO because bitcoin is already banned in china due to increased of scams in ICO projects and other reasons, so it is impossible for china to control bitcoin. Other reasons why china can't control bitcoin is because bitcoin is decentralized that no one can control it, even the government in every country.
As far as I know, Bitcoin is not banned in the said country but rather the exchanges related with crypto. Bitcoin mining is still widely processed in China so we cannot totally say that it is prohibited. They may use their own digital currency but it won't overthrow Bitcoin in any other way.
