BTCC
China's leading early bitcoin exchange (BTC China), a signatory of both the 2016 Hong Kong Roundtable and the 2017 New York Agreement.
The wiki's angle: BTCC is the company that put two future protagonists at the 2016 table, Bobby Lee as CEO and Samson Mow as COO, and then signed the 2017 deal that tried to deliver the 2 MB half.[2][3]

History
Wikipedia says BTCC was founded in 2011 by Bobby Lee, Yang Linke and Huang Xiaoyu as BTC China, incorporated in 2013 with a Shanghai headquarters, and became the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume globally in November 2013[1]. It ceased trading in China in 2017 because of regulatory changes and was bought by an unnamed firm in Hong Kong in January 2018[1].
Block size war
The Hong Kong Roundtable statement of February 2016 lists Bobby Lee as BTCC's CEO and Samson Mow as COO[2]. BTCC is also on the list of New York Agreement signatories of May 2017[3].
