Bitcoin is not banned in China.  The problem was a communication error. Forbes magazine incorrectly stated there was a ban and in fact there was not:

So Baidu and China Telecom removed bitcoins as a payment option because they read the forbes article? I mean if anything else they don't need help to read their own language  Tongue

From what I understand they did so temporarily until they receive legal clarification and understanding of the gov announcment.  This is what they said anyway.  It is not supposed to be permanent.
