Well, I'm not bother or surprise with the Chinese government statement because they are never totally a supporter of crypto currencies they follow/allow it because of the money they get from miners tax and we both know the Chinese government love the act of abusing power and the decentralized in nature of crypto currency won't give room for such thing. So, we can't expect good thing fro such government
I am agree, china government never support bitcoin. But we should remember, biggest bitcoin miner is at china and i think chinese people like bitcoin as investment and china could lead in crypto market
