You guys honestly don't need your own "12 Team" Region. That's truly foul and absurd.
Give South Korea, the more COMPETITIVE region it's 12 teams instead - they're more deserving of it. China only has 2/12 good teams lets all be honest here.
Let the weaker Chinese VCT teams compete with APAC. Test it. Bet they won't even do well.
If you compare Korea competitive vs. China competitive, Korea definitely has more stronger teams and players and potential. They deserve more of a 12 team region compared to China.

Point/TLDR: Korea deserves more space and teams for higher competitive Tier2 players on the rise, whereas China's low level Tier 1 teams (besides EDG + Trace, 2/12 Teams) are just there in the scene for the "more population/more money" for Riot.
Its true EDG won Champs but both 2nd places from China goes dead last at Masters last year:
