Did it really happen in China? Doesn't seem so, looks like they still have half of the hashing power.

Well, it's arguable, as i said - but the CCP *did* ban mining in China (what year i forget, somewhere between '18 and '21) which led to a huge physical outflow of ASICs to other countries.  When you say 'they have half the hashing power' you're talking about antpool and bitmain as entities right? It's definitely a lot more than a nuance as to whether they have that hash power pointing at a pool controlled by those entities, vs. actually having that hash power under their own control, and inside China or out.

Very hard to know where the truth is. Other centralized problem seems to be the chip manufacturing, is there other producers or projects elsewhere?

China makes up between 20% - 30% atm.

Alot less than a couple of years ago, when we saw 80%.

How to verify that?

We can´t. It is only an estimation. Alot of miners use VPNs too.
