I think that the author of that article should speak with the Chinese Government since they are now banning bitcoin. We all know that once the Chinese Government moves it's for real. Too bad for Chinese people who use bitcoin and other cryptos, lucky for us since our government thinks the same as the author of this article.
Please provide a source to your claims regarding Chinese Government banning Bitcoin. Speculations with no evidence are just false accusations which are not needed in the crypto ecosystem. I have seen this speculation but no one has provided any evidence to back this claim.
There is not way the government can stop people from using Bitcoin even if they ban it usage in the country. You can be in any country and still trade your Bitcoin for fiat money easily.
