They should apply here in my country (the Philippines) as we now allow Bitcoin trading. With the market as the whole world, a Bitcoin exchange can really be a very lucrative proposition it just so happened that China failed to appreciate the many benefits the country can get from Bitcoin so instead of regulating they opted for the ban.
