what if the whole internet was departed into two separated parts?
As I know, the Chinese government may be going to block its domestic internet from other world, to build a so called Chiternet, so that they can control the press\pulic voice.
So the Bitcoin will developed into two independent sysytem, one in China, and one in the freedom world. Then one day, the Bitcoin left in China became the ostrich in Australia??

Thank you very much for this little question.
Yes. Miners are needed to process transactions. However, this is incredibly unlikely - how would every single miner in the world stop working at the same time? Nuclear war? Even then, the Southern hemisphere would possibly escape much of the initial destruction, and - to be honest - the entire World would have much more important things to worry about than sending bitcoins!
