He speaks fluent Chinese
He must be banned.
It is not so simple, at the first glance he is not spamming with totally useless posts. And as far as I can tell translated news can be helpful for Chinese community. It is up to someone who is fluent in Chinese and English to decide if these posts are good and not spamming fest.
He speaks fluent Chinese, he is simply copy news from Bitcoin news website and post in Media section, he does follow the rule of the media section, but maybe writing some posts would be better instead of simplified copy-paste.
Anyway, Chinese section is getting colder and colder.

Is this the start of the invasion of the Chinese trolls another thread was talking about? 
Trolls, probably not, signature spammers? For sure. About the point that John was talking about, that its in native chinese, some googling and it turns out that many sites are translating these stuff and posting in their website, thats probably where the spammer is scraping the posts from. For ex: http://www.bitecoin.com/online/2015/11/16182.html is a copy of what the spammer has been posting some other results are: ResultsPlus no one from the chinese local forum seems to respond or discuss any of those news because they, most likey, dont care at all about them.

Why aren't they banned yet if it is known what they are doing?
Isn't there a Chinese moderator or one that can use a translator on the foreign posts to see what is happening?

Forget what I said about the second guy, he's defo a botted account, just scrapes off the words from : http://forex.cngold.org/ which is a chinese news site. Hope he's banned soon for botting and sig spamming.
Hmm.. I read a few of his posts and they seem coherent Chinese to me as a native-level speaker, not something translated via a bot. That account is actually reposting news from external sites (http://www.bitecoin.com/online/2015/11/16131.html as an example of the newest post). Not sure if that's a bannable offense with the newest policies though.
Another chinese spammer, same guy it seems: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/nextblast-345754
this guy?
I think he is just reposting for the locals. if he posted it else where and claimed the articles as his to his own site then that would be an issue.
I suppose he added his idea to his posts so this leaves an impression that he wanted people to discuss over.
