Im not comfortable making assumptions like that without solid numbers to back it up.

But I am, especially given the level of network control they have. I don't think a very large portion of Bitcoin people would be smart enough to get a VPN.

Also, claiming a ton of Bitcoin miners are Chinese is the assumption, not saying that it's heavily unlikely. See Russell's Teapot.
