I am surprised to hear there is no one in china already producing 68000 chips since I think I have seen some toys with "16-bit graphics" that resemble some sega genesis games.

The chips are useless for MiniMig. Made by Radica they use a custom ASIC just like the C64 DTV. The 68k is deep inside the ASIC and it is unlikely that all the signals we need are on pins.

Ben Heckendorn converted one into a hand held genesis, you see he mentions that it is only one chip (GOAC)

Why he did this I dont know, as the Genesis/Megadrive has a great official portable called the Nomad!

The 68k remake inside the Genesis/Megadrive DTV must be pretty compatible... I wonder who created this? And (assuming it's not Sega) if they are willing to share the HDL ;-)
