Aren't media outlets in China owned by the government? If that's the case, this means that the Chinese are softening up for bitcoin and could potentially issue yet another statement regarding their support for bitcoin and other related services. Or it could just be another statement to piss off the Americans, knowing that the USD has been pretty much weakening as days are passing by. Either way, the Chinese are planning to get involved by prepping up the media, and releasing such statements just helps with that.
Yes, there is a possibility that something like that is happening now, considering that these two countries are in economic competition. USA has tried but it has an impact on the weakening of their currencies while China if we look at a few months back like not doing anything related to Crypto. With things like this maybe China is also starting a movement that makes Bitcoin bullish or bearish./
