A country where cryptos are out rightly banned, will bring an altcoin season? I highly doubt that.
Just one statement by the president about blockchain means nothing at all. Crypto space has gone unaffected (both positive and negative) through many such news.
The thing to notice is that Chinese are involved heavily in OTC crypto trades which goes undocumented. That doesn't really affect the market price as such. So increase in searches doesn't mean that altcoin season is upcoming.
