This saga is kind of like when you finish with your partner, and they simply can't get over you, so they keep breaking up with you, only to realize they can't find better. But, in all seriousness China banning Bitcoin has never really effecting the overall adoption of Bitcoin even in China, let alone the rest of the world. I believe, Bitcoin actually gains more traction within China the more they try, and censor it.
I don't think if this news is a reliable one but if its true, China can't really get rid of bitcoin. Even if they keep on banning bitcoin, but they can't control the continuous widespread of the usage of bitcoin online. The more they ban it, the more people will be curious about how amazing bitcoin is.
If this news is made to pull down the price of bitcoin, i think investors will definitely love it because it will open great opportunity to buy more bitcoin that will be added to their portfolio.
