But what would happen if one state (you know which one) could actualy gain control over more than 51% hash rate though?

You mean the Chinese government? The majority hashrate is already located in China:

We're still talking about private companies running these mining operations, not the government. The confiscation of private mining facilities to launch a 51% attack seems rather unlikely as China knows better than to kill their own cash cows.
