This isn't correct either. All miners pretty much agree with a 2MB limit, but it has to come from core. Chinese miners don't want to switch to alternate clients

This isn't correct either. All miners pretty much agree with a 2MB limit, but it has to come from core. Chinese miners don't want to switch to alternate clients because of cultural reasons. If the core developers issue a raise to the blocksize tomorrow, the fork would happen and the controversy would be over. The core developers have a commercial incentive to not fix this issue.
