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.
It is not important for it to survive but the support of China would help Bitcoin grow quicker anything which is there to slow down the adoption is bad imo. I think most citizens of China ignore the laws that China has I have friends that live in China and everyone is anti government uses a VPN to get around the restrictions they have in place there. Bitcoin will still be used illegally in China but it will slow down the adoption rate because there are no advertisements allowed and not everyone is willing to break the law even if that means giving up their freedom. I am with you. Some time ago I opened a thread in meta about a similar case:
How to deal with multiple, factually incorrect threads?
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.
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.
Having it self moderated is a good thing because it will discourage the people who spread these stupid rumors without evidence. Take a look at the replies on the topics linked and you will see that most are in a altcoin signature and they are posting similar posts to other people in the topic without giving it any thought just so they can earn money.
