The Chinese will close all the exchanges end of this month. So there will be no more rumours.
in case someone missed it, the "rumor" or the FUD was that China has banned bitcoin and the FUDsters didn't stop there, they started creating panic in people that China is going to ban bitcoin mining too and close down miners and kill bitcoin.
although this is nothing new but it was effective for a while before people realize that what China did was close down exchanges for money laundering and ban ICOs for scamming people out of a lot of money.
they ended by the way, a while ago.
