you can still send your fiat instantly with no fees to the exchange and buy bitcoins, same thing other way around, in china, am i correct?
Well, I just checked my BTChina account because there would be some lovely arb opportunities if you could get fiat on there from overseas but it looks very much like the only options are via banks in mainland China. I asked them last month about HK banks and they said no. So, getting funds in from o/s looks difficult. Where's Bitpirate? I'd be interested in his take on things and how its impacted on rmbtb.com

This is important thing. Many people here are talking about third party payment processors being banned but articles usually list banks there too. If banks are too banned, then it's game over for China (farewell boys): The PBOC met with around ten top Chinese third-party payment providers yesterday, banning banks and third-party payment firms from providing settlement and clearance services for transactions based on virtual currencies, like Bitcoin and Litecoin, as well as other peer-to-peer currency trading sites.

honestly i can see china trying to control the flow of bitcoins soon as well. they are trying to control the fiat going in and out of the exchange, but if the btc can be transferred out easily that reduces the effectiveness of their policy.
or am i missing something?

How many hold them? Is it still pretty much underground or full mainstream?

Authorities might now grasping the risk of btc to their currency control and leakage. They are gradually putting measures to squeeze cash flow to btc while letting investors out without causing sudden price crash. Next step might be to prevent exchanges from using chinese banks.

Is it not the case that most 3rd party payment providers in the US won't go near bitcoin exchanges with a barge pole? And if so, is the situation in China now not pretty similar?
