Some of you say it's banned, some of you say it is not.
Do any of you have a  link to reliable source  to clear this up?

BTW, how is this going to affect http://btc-e.com operations? If I recall, they are operating form Ukraine.

One more thing, China did not ban BTC. Only bank/fin institutions can not invest or trade BTC and for the rest, they can do what ever they want but have no protection from their gov. if get ripped off or lose their coin.
