Yeah, very good points there, R2P. And you raised the very essential question WHY they did not stop them, yet(?).
There could be several reasons for that, but I guess it just doesn't make too much sense to speculate at this point. What I certainly believe though is that they will shut those alternatives down by January 31st. I mean their intention is obvious. They do not want CNY being traded for BTC, because the coins then can be used as a tool to export LOTS of Chinese money/capital which is basically illegal, or better said restricted/controlled, in China (as far as I know). Therefore, it would only be consequent to stop ANY possible method. Otherwise, it would be a proper surprise.
We'll see
