It's my understanding that this was all the result of someone who managed to post a fake message on the Chinese equivalent of Twitter. The problem with all the news out of China about Bitcoin is that it isn't in English so unless you speak the language it is hard to evaluate it's truthiness and instead are forced to rely on second hand sources. http://www.btc38.com/btc/btc_market/476.html http://www.btc38.com/btc/btc_market/476.html

(I speak Chinese.) The "rumor" seems already be verified by newspaper and media. See the article [1] on the website of Xinhuanet [2].

My Chinese girlfriend bought Bitcoins and she heard the news on the radio, while driving to work. She wasn't too concerned. Surprisingly she seems to really understand the disruptive nature of cryptocurrency. She is a fashion designer, by the way, and I never really explained Bitcoin to her - she just bought in. Disclaimer: She used to be some kind of Age of Empires II master nerd back in the days. Trust me - I never saw anybody playing that game like her. I was humbled...
