How is it good for China to destroy Bitcoin?
This question does not recognize China has over a billion people.
The Chinese government has shut down Bitcoin transactions in China before because it goes counter to their centralized economic control. If uppity insurgents or billionaires who they wish to punish (e.g. Jack Ma) are heavily invested in Bitcoin, they may want to crash it. Alternatively, it may be seen as a way of people to launder money outside of China and their control. Maybe just want to throw other financial markets into chaos.
Why would the miners cooperate? I can think of 7.62 reasons why.
