China.. China... China. Is not a democracy. I never understood why people were so happy to learn about China's love for bitcoin.

China the government was never happy about bitcoin. Chinese PEOPLE were happy about bitcoin and people were happy for them. As it meant thy were using it to bypass and hopefully overthrow a large portion of the tyranny of their government.

It was wishful thinking to believe this would succeed though because their government holds a monopoly on military power

Yes. It was. But that does not stop Chinese citizen to accept or send bitcoin. The same with Tibetan monks.

China.. Suddenly the country that is happy to see Tibetan Monks on fire became Disney World.

Good point.

Bitcoin is freedom of speech. A notion a Chinese citizen cannot even google search. Hopefully most here are not forgetting this

Again. Good point.

Obviously I am in for the experiment and the long run and not for making a quick bux. I perfectly believe it is normal for countries or people to make money, in and out with bitcoin. Market manipulation or not, this is perfectly normal, it is pure human behavior. But to feel sad China is refusing to deal with bitcoin when you need a VPN because 2 million civil servants are paid to spy on their own on the net is bizarre. This is not a Nation simply trying to tax bitcoin users.

Bitcoin is freedom of speech. A notion a Chinese citizen cannot even google search. Hopefully most here are not forgetting this, while making money.
