China intensifies crackdown on Bitcoin trading, mining
A slew of crypto-related accounts in China’s Twitter-like Weibo platform have been blocked as Beijing stepped up a crackdown on bitcoin trading and mining.
More actions are expected, including linking illegal crypto activities in China more directly with the country’s criminal law, according to analysts and a financial regulator.
Last month, China’s State Council, or cabinet, vowed to crack down on bitcoin mining and trading, escalating a campaign against cryptocurrencies days after three industry bodies banned crypto-related financial and payment services, according to Reuters.

Over the weekend, access to several of widely followed crypto-related Weibo accounts was denied, with a message saying each account “violates laws and rules.”
“It’s a Judgment Day for crypto KOL”, wrote a Weibo bitcoin commentator, or key opinion leader (KOL), who calls herself “Woman Dr. Bitcoin mini.” Her main account was also blocked on Saturday.
