The title: emergency announcement to ban bitcoin mining
Details are basically to notice any sub power stations to stop providing electricity to bitcoin minging business. any violators will be punished (get their power generation license revoked aka kicked out of business).
Soon we'll find some cheap asic miners on ebay ...

It's just from one electricity company in one of 33 provinces in China.
Unless the ban expends to other provinces, you won't find any cheap miners on sale.

maybe Sichuan's loss can be turned into Southern or Occupied Mongolia's gain. (sorry won't call it 'Inner')
