As long as there is a planet to ban bitcoin on, China will do it. There's no doubt.

China Gov't has been stocking up on BTC behind closed doors for quite some time now.   Just like any government, they like to pass laws and regulations for the masses that they themselves don't follow.   Once they have a large enough holding and feel that they can control BTC, they will back off on their restrictions...

the big point in that article is, that like I have suggested before, Chinese money will find its way into BTC if Chinese want it. A ban might even backfire on the government because it will result in black markets that are uncontrollable:

UnionPay has been named in a few tax-dodging schemes in China. Last month Reuters reported that state-backed bank cards, including UnionPay, are used to illegally spirit billions of dollars abroad.

Much of the money ends up in Macau and Hong Kong, where number of ‘merchants’ allow Chinese nationals to make fake purchases in Macau and simply turn over cash in exchange for the ‘purchase’.

This is done to get around China’s strict currency export controls. Authorities in China, Macau and UnionPay officials agree that the practice is widespread and the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) is also aware of the problem

I followed the link in the article to Cryptex. Unfortunately, Firefox indicated a problem with the certificate of the site.

What does this mean? I don't know. But it would seem odd for a financial site to overlook the certificate authority issues.

Possibly the certificate just expired this week?

People from mainland China need a visa to get into HK.... not that it's a hard visa to get but it's not as simple as driving down a few miles to another town.

$hit! I thought that travelling from mainland China to HK was way simpler. Anyway, good for the Hing Kong people.

Hong Kong is not China.  Well, it is, but it isn't.  They have their own government.  They are a special administrative region of China, just like Macau.

Hong Kong is not China. But Mainland Chinese can travel to Hong Kong and indulge in Bitcoin trading without any restrictions. That is the entire point. There is nothing that the Chinese government can do here.

Because the government does not understand Bitcoin, so response is slow. The government is afraid of doing something wrong, so also more conservative.

I doubt any government is going to embrace Bitcoin. It's the people who need to embrace it. We're talking about a currency that entirely bypasses the strict and rigid systems China (and other governments) have setup to control their currency. As individual adoption starts thriving, then the governments will do something to earn tax revenue from it (probably by taxing exchanges heavily).

Point is, don't hold your breath for major government adoption. My only hope is for adoption in developing countries where there is no stable currency. That's what will be most powerful in the long run. Lao and Cambodia both have a population with access to the internet and smartphones, yet their economy is a mix of THB/USD and their local unstable currency.

This is a good development. At least the people from mainland China can purchase Bitcoins without much legal hassle, if they are ready to travel to Hong Kong. Let's see what the PBOC is going to do about this.

Yes. and what is wrong with that? China is not out to crush bitcoin, they just are afraid of hurting their economy. Those who know the story of QQ money in China know where they are coming from.
