It is more a Cold War of words at this moment.    China's extradition plans is causing a uproar in Hong Kong and a lot of people are fearing that their relatives would be extradited to mainland China if this bill is passed. They call these people criminals but a lot of them are political opposition to China's rule. 

A lot of these people can use Bitcoin to protect their wealth, if they are extradited to mainland China because it is borderless and capital controls can be bypassed if it is used correctly. 

Just another small win for the small guys.
