Changing the hash function doesn't solve the problem. The mining game doesn't remonitise becuase everyone knows where it ends (denial of service and collapse, rendering mining hardware valueless).

> (denial of service and collapse, rendering mining hardware valueless). No, actually. China being able to DDOS every internet service that it does not like is already something that they provably are unable to do in the current day world. There are lots of things that China would like to DDOS off the internet, right now, and yet they aren't able to succeed at doing that. A crypto service isn't any different than anything else that China is attempting to, and failing at, DDOSing off of the internet right now. What is china going to do? Take out cloudfare and aws and any other major web hosting platform in the world? C'mon. Lets enter back into the real world. If the US is refusing to cooperate with china, then there are many ways of defending against something as simple as a DDOS attack.
