To be honest china banning the mining probably a good thing for the network overall, because a lot of people had some real concern about how decentralized it is if china holds a lot of the mining power there, and with them shutting down right now it might bring a lot of people who have that idea, as for the Chinese government they are probably afraid of how big bitcoin is getting and how they can't control it and control the transactions since they are anonymous and the people can have a bit of freedom with it.
Mining of bitcoin was a good idea to earn more money in a short period. Some capital is only essential and some basic knowledge about mining is essential. Because people selling fake mining set for the money scam. Even some people saying we send the mining setup after money. The fact is, they will scam at the end.
