Why disturb waters unnecessarily? YC's statement seems more like "let's wait for a better time" than self-censorship. If YC truly saw no chance for YC-China in the future, then I don't doubt they would come out and say so. However, that's a pretty strong statement, and I don't think anyone can make such a prediction. There is always a chance for a more serendipitous time in the future.
