I was already thinking about bans a few months ago when similar conversations started in India, but there, in my opinion, the question still stands squarely and no decision has been made. China surprises me - perhaps this is such a step to popularize their digital yuan and clean up competitors. Given the tight control and authoritarian management in all spheres, this is certainly not surprising, but it is still strange that such a giant would so easily part with its leverage on the market and expel people who gave it such an opportunity.
