Seriously, it's starting to become one heck of a freak show. Let them do whatever they want with crypto in their country. China is only digging itself deeper in their own misery. Let them have it their way.
Crypto doesn't need China. Eventually it will lead to Chinese innovation in crypto terms to flow into other Asian countries with a friendly crypto climate. Japan is only becoming stronger because of this, and they know that.
