According to undisclosed sources, the Chinese government has officially decided to crack down on all Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading, not just commercial exchanges. According to the WSJ:

Japan is wise and sees this as an opportunity to buy cheap BTC. Their market is looking strong in the crypto world. China's loss.

I think the main thing is that Chinese exchanges wouldnt be able to pass an internal audit and are closing up before any regulations would force them to open up their books. We have already seen a significant bump up in price, and overall, he market has recovered very nicely.
Much of it is FUD imo, and weak hands panic sold and then got completely massacred after btc and many other alts rebounded the very next day
Capitalism at its finest.
China is actually trying to bring up their crypto supported by their Central Bank that's why they taking this measures to halt bitcoin exchanges. Awesome post. Check out my new post too @jakemore.. Thanks
