They finally caught onto the wealth transfer scam and have become paranoid.

They even think that their stockmarket is controlled.

Meanwhile, the regulatory commission, along with the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, has targeted share manipulation, corporate embezzlement, insider trading and pyramid schemes as it works to combat a widespread perception among individual or "retail" investors that the market is rigged. After gyrations in China's stock markets hammered investors' portfolios and battered their confidence in the past few years, few have been willing to invest for the long term.

The chinese believe their housing market is also rigged as well. The government basically promises a certain rise in house prices. It's implicit. Ask some of your chinese friends.

Alternatively, it could be that some huge chinese billionaire has finished transferring Yuan to a basket of currencies, CAD, AUD, USD, RUB. Thus there is no market for the coins anymore and the downward pressure is from the billionaire selling back out. Who knows... We can only make up stories, but yeah the chinese are a paranoid bunch when it comes to money. I don't see them speculating again in the long term.

Perhaps they're all eating dinner at the same time.

But there's definitely a good reason why they've slowed drastically atm.

Earlier today when I turned on fiatleak they bought about about 20 times less than the US over a 15 minute period.  :o

Perhaps they don't like the idea that the US seems to be warming to Bitcoin.

Slowing down is your way to describe panic sells?

And by the way, USD has been leading the way in the sell-off, not CNY. Check volumes.

It may have something to do with the fact that the price is almost at $700 per bitcoin there now while it was $200 two weeks ago. Reality is kicking back in and they're all slowly coming back to earth. Up until they unleash the next buying frenzy ofcourse. ;)
