What does the Imam say regarding a hadith about seeking knowledge even if it be in China. Is it a confirmed Hadith? Many scholars have disputed it yet so many are using it.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org
Answer

The Hadith is weak (Kashful Ilaahi pg. 101)

According to the principles of Hadith, a weak Hadith can be used for
Fadhaail, especially, when there are other Ahaadith in support of the
meaning of the weak Hadith.

And Allah Taãla Knows Best.
