Hypothetically, would the US government pay miners in China to mine empty blocks?

But wouldn’t that undermine the incentive of the miners? The reward for the miners is the Coinbase and not so much the fees. If the coinbase gets worthless because the network dies there is no incentive to mine empty blocks in that scale.

isn't it that sooner or later some other small miner (not paid by a country) will be lucky to find a block and do include the transaction that big centralized miners or governments wanted to censor? and so, "worst case" it would take a bit longer, maybe a few days instead of 10 minutes, but still any valid transaction from anyone could be included, no?
