There's no news in the mainstream that confirms about this fud only those paid article creators release this so we should not believe on such words since I don't believe that china will crack down bitcoins since its a multi million 8f not billion dollars industry.
I think from some bad news and news that is made out of reality is a planned activity. If you look at some period ago news like this appeared after bitcoin and altcoin prices soared. So for my friends, I think there is no need to panic this is a recurring activity.
