I'm in China and speak Chinese:

  • The BTC website is still accepting payments from my bank
  • I called them and they told me that withdrawals are still happening and I can withdraw FIAT.  My guess is that they are cash rich as people putting money in there and withdrawing it overseas.
  • Great arbitrage ops at the moment

it probably takes a couple of weeks for the law to be implemented.

coin desk did another article today confirming this news further:
