Hi,
There is no way that China cannot affect the bitcoin community.
First, because there is obviously a large community of bitcoinners in China (quite logically, there are more people than in most other countries)
Then, because the Chinese economy is set in a strange in-between, avoiding to chose either capitalism or communism
Finally, because indeed mining is still possible there when it has become utterly irrelevant in most western countries
So yes, China is affecting and will affect bitcoin!
