What are peoples thoughts on the effect of flooding in China. The three Gorges dam has been failing to hold back the monsoon season and threatening to flood major Chinese mining operations.

What are peoples thoughts on the effect on the price should there be major distribution to the miners?

I couldn't find conclusive evidence on the matter of miners still being in China or not, but at least Coindesk seems to believe that China still dominates when it comes to mining. I hope the rains help miners because the profitability rates have been very low since halving. As for the flood threatening to break equipment, it currently seems to be a billionaire's speculation, and let's hope it stays this way.

I have a suspicion that many new (and possibly old) users would not pass the Turing test, including this latest prodigious new user "OrganixProtocol"

I am not sure this would help. OrganixProtocol might just have poor knowledge of English. Moreover, there's this story of the Eugene Goostman bot that passed the Turing Test precisely because it was making mistakes, so the judges assumed that it was a teenager human being that doesn't speak English well.
