Yes the government of China had banned the bitcoin and we can see right now that the famous exchangers of cryptos coins had been closed and i have heard that the bitcoin mining, investing ICO activity on there had been banned too by the government of China, but unfortunately the cryptos coins activity can not really be banned by the government of China because actually still many people from the China, they are still mining, trading alternative coins and try investing in the ICO, so community of cryptos coins from the China they are still alive and survive.
