[bitbaker54]

Will the recent decision by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) directly or indirectly impact Bitcoin exchanges and hardware sellers in Hong Kong (HK)?  If not, have any official statements been made by HK authorities (e.g. Hong Kong Monetary Authority / HKMA http://www.hkma.gov.hk/eng/index.shtml declaring similar restrictions?  *Note - I'm not referring to 'buyer beware warnings'.
