The obsession with China is something that will not disappear so soon, because a lot of people still think that China is in some way necessary for Bitcoin to succeed - of course because it is the most populous country in the world and because they are already (or will become) the first world economy. What they all completely ignore is their political system, and only those who have not experienced the evil of communism still have some hope that China will accept Bitcoin in one way or another.
The best thing that happened was that Bitcoin was banned in that country, because China has actually been one massive weight around Bitcoin all this time - we can finally move forward without listening to what comes next from that country.
The only thing I would'nt have done is to self-moderate the thread. That will cause it to have fewer replies and you may find several other threads with more replies than keep being bumped while yours dies.
On the contrary, if more people used this option, there would be less spam - and the goal is to discourage those who are shitposters. The OP always has the option to bump his thread every 24 hours if he wants to make it visible.
If you are pissed off that people don't read and say false information you can try reporting but you may have not much success reporting for false information.
Report posts based on inaccurate information only make sense if we substantiate our claims with information that unequivocally proves it. Mods will not waste their time determining whether some information is accurate or not.
