They were trying to ban it right after the GOX failure, so if they really wanted people to stop using it they would have done it then.

This is telling that even if the China government has some apprehensions about Bitcoin, it is actually impressed with the technology behind the cryptocurrency which is the blockchain. Just like Russia, this country and the people manning the government know that the blockchain is a very revolutionary innovation and that it can be applied to any area of its governance and many industries.
