Although bitcoin has not been fully accepted by the Chinese government, one of the oldest science and technology media in the country, the Beijing Sci-Tech Report (BSTR) recently announced that it will start accepting Bitcoin in 2019. The BTC crypto currency is planned to become one of the payment tools that visitors can use to pay subscription fees at BSTR. Because of the high volatility of Bitcoin, BSTR says if prices increase rapidly in 2020, they will provide a refund to visitors who pay subscription fees with Bitcoin.
China has become a very progressive country using all modern technologies. I would not be surprised if they are the first to start using bitcoin everywhere.
No , they are not the first because Japan and other countries are already accepting crypto currency as payment and their government are embarrassing very much bitcoin , so they are entering lately already , but since their economy is very stable , so they can match up with other country easily if they want .
