And if miners in china close operations won't time between block increase?
Thus maybe BTC is actually responding slower than other market... what do you think?
I'm by far not a keychain expert so I will gladly be corrected if I'm wrong.
However to answer the question: If mining in China went offline, it would affect time to blocks. However, difficulty adjusts every 2016 blocks (about 2 weeks), so if China has 75% of mining, at worst, it'd be 8 weeks before everything went back to normal in terms of block times. Bitcoin Cash actually has mechanism to adjust far more frequently, within a few hours if necessary. (but also subject to miner manipulation)
The bitcoin hashrate has remained more or less the same in last 2 months: https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate?timespan=60days
This is in contrast with last 3 months where the hashrate nearly doubled: https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate?timespan=180days
Fees peaked around 25th August but still pretty high: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactionfees...

Going from 6 to 7.5 EH/s it's not more or less the same (it's a 25% increase)
