I have got this news from news.bitcoin.com but I can not seem to find the link to it. However, I think you are right. Any insight from China is going to be negative. If any progress occurs regarding this all of us are sure to receive press releases from everywhere.
I hope that South Korea will not be talking to China about cryptocurrency as we know that China had already decided against the use of non-state sponsored cryptocurrency within the country. South Korea should focus on how to improve the regulations that can be imposed on this new market...though the FUDs continued to be running wide i think it can already be said the government has no intention to fully ban cryptocurrency but is in fact strengthening the KYC process that all exchanges and related entities should follow -- this is quite expected and I think everyone should follow.
