I smell FUD. No one knows what the China government will do in the future, but to date what you said is NOT true .... BTC china is still actively trading. They have "temporarily suspended" buying bitcoin from banks in RMB. The official statement from btcchina website (below) says they will provide alternative funding methods.
Provide a source for the claim that btcchina will shutdown by end of January? This directly contradicts what the CEO of btcchina has said so far. I live in china, trade on btcchina, and read all the news about bitcoin, including Chinese forums.
Regardless, the big Chinese players (eager to avoid capital controls and stash their pile of money) will always prefer local or OTC transactions, to avoid bank scrutiny. The local option will just be more lucrative for traders like me
Here is the official statement (and my translation):

)
I came here with the news that BTC China will be down and here it is. It's down.
You said that I am bringing FUD while I told you that I am saying the truth and that you will see in 2-3 days.
Now, 2 days has passed and all I said was true. Next time, believe my words.
Do you want me to tell you who will be the next Bitcoin exchanger who will close its business?
Stay cool, it won't be before February. It's enough BTC china for now.
