I guess that is good news, the cat is out of the bag and no more rumors. China closes all exchanges based on the fact that they are operating without a formal license.

Which means there will be regulation and licenses coming soon, a good step forward.

Soon or later, a country should regulate bitcoin an exchanges due to trading volume getting bigger as time goes on.
As long as government doesn't ban bitcoin and people could trade in exchnges, even though it was stated as illegal, not to be used as medium of payment, it doesn't matter. Actually, Chinese people still have 2 biggest exchanges to trade cryptocurrency until the end of October, so the cat still in the bag.

This is one of the oldest strategies of governments as long as a business remain small then they are not going to bother with you but once the business gets big enough then governments are going to begin to hit you with all kinds of taxes to try to get what they think it belongs to them.

Exactly china is the biggest market of the bitcoin and crypto currency right now and i think before 2 to 3 years they are just watching from outside and keeping it to flourish and not going to bother anyone who was into it at that time but now as it is established now they are taking steps to resolve the spam exchanges and as we seen their step against the ico's but somehow it is also good step for the development of crypto currency and bitcoin.
