I explain what was going on:
most chinese exchanges were allowing withdrawals on ANY zhifubao account (chinese paypal copy), meaning that money laundering was never this easy. Think this: I transfer 10 bitcoins to my account (that could be registered with a fake name, since no verification is done) and then I could convert to chinese yuan and withdraw to unlimited different zhifubao accounts (difficult to track). At that point, could withdraw to a real bank account. There's a limit to every chinese on how many dollars can receive every year (I think $50000). Suppose there's a guy that wants to get $1 million to china without paying taxes. Step 1: buy 1000 bitcoins Step 2: convert them to 5 millions yuan Step 3: withdraw them to 100 different zhifubao accounts Step 4: go to countryside and pick up 100 random people saying "hey i give you 100 yuan if you help me" Step 5: deposit from zhifubao and withdraw in their name Step 6: Congrats: you transfered 1 million dollars illegally avoiding taxes
That's why china government got angry, any government in the world won't like this, not just china In fact, now btc china is requiring id verification and will only do bank transfers in the same registered name of the account.
And at its peak, btc=>yuan rates were so high that you could make a very nice arbitrage and easy money if you bought bitcoins in dollars, then convert to yuan, then dollars again (make $20 every $1000) Now the game is broken, you lose $40 every $1000 converted

Not all the chineese exchanges were closed I guess. http://www.huobi.com/ is working fine. Their volume is 400-800 BTC/hour.

If so, then the fault was with Zhifubao, and not with BTC-China. I don't understand the logic in banning BTC, while allowing Zhifubao to operate freely.

If you can find such fools easily, you can evade taxes even without Bitcoin

Because until now the only way to get money into zhifubao was a traceable bank transfer (or a traceable sale on taobao) They just banned zhifubao and similars (caifutong) to receive BTC, they didn't ban BTC

But if the issue really was tax evasion, then they could have just banned Zhifubao / Caifutong transfers for larger amounts. Small scale users got up unnecessarily in this mess.

BTC CHINA is based and hosted in the US for those who did not know, so no it will not close it may change hands as to who directs it but i very much doubt that, Bobby does a great job and is a really nice guy. do a quick search on youtube for some of his presentations which explain everything in full detail, they leave no questions unanswered

Do you mean only the computer servers are hosted in the US..? I'm member at BTCChina and have spoken with support and they told me that fiat can only be withdrawn into Chinese mainland banks. Also I've heard that you can personally walk into BTCChina office in China to deposit fiat, as you know that fiat cannot be deposited into BTCChina from Chinese banks.

yes, that is what i mean. since it is hosted in the US it can't be seized by China. Sure there is issue of the office in China however that is on the road to being rectified and won't be very long at all before it is all sorted so can continue uninterupted

Where does it says that it's hosted in the US? It targets mainland china, it has an official icp beian authorization
if you want an ICP record, then you MUST operate from inside mainland china (see google: doesn't have ICP record and most services are blocked)
