No, such abuse wouldn't last long and China knows it.
You clearly missed this bit in TFA:

While the vast majority of users would not do this, one single report on such an attack would create a huge international scandal that might lead to major browsers removing their trust of CNNIC. So the authorities will likely avoid using this tool, unless they feel it’s absolutely necessary.
