Just to be sure, I had a friend read this over who understands Chinese. He said that it seemed there was more than a cautious nod, more like the knowing acceptance that Bitcoin is going to be important for the future. Perhaps it is just the subtleties of language, I don't know. The best part is that the person commenting on bitcoin is highly placed at his Bank, which just speaks to the visibility of bitcoin in general.
I think there's more to the China story than meets the eye, and we've yet to hear all of it. Overall, really bullish long term.
