Despite the prophets of doom (well mainly stupid economists) declaring that the recent actions of the Chinese central bank would dramatically hit Bitcoin, these people thus far appear to have been wrong. I have also noticed some on the Bitcoin Forum claiming that when the policies were enacted at the end of January this would cause a significant negative effect (but this has not happened, probably because any hit has already been taken with the release of the memo).
There is considerable ambiguity around the declaration of the People's Bank of China that caused a significant temporary drop in the value of Bitcoin from its all time high a couple of months ago (in English here)
