Satoshi Nakamoto does not control Bitcoin nor do any individuals. The Bitcoin network is organized into nodes all of which are equal in terms of their ability to affect change in the way the network operates. If a majority of nodes choose to implement a change the change becomes standard and any node that declines either stops operating or forks out a new crypto.

Some people have speculated that one of the reasons China hosts so many nodes is that they are trying to build a majority so they can drive BTC in a direction that benefits China, one of which could be to give it a disadvantage against their nationally developed version.

"All" Nakamoto did was publish a paper describing Bitcoin and make its first implementation available to the public in 2009. He mined the first block, which contained some text referring to a bank bailout to suggest that was part of his motivation for creating it. The implementation solved a couple of major problems that were requirements for publicly traded decentralized digital assets to exist so it was pretty groundbreaking stuff.
