As reported by a Chinese news outlet Xinhuanet, in a recent speech the President of China Xi Jinping has announced that China must take all advantages offered by the blockchain technology.

The speech was given at the 18th collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee on October 25.

Thought leaders of the crypto community have put up their reaction on Twitter, praising China and wishing the US would follow its suit on the other hand.

Embracing blockchain, rejecting Bitcoin

China is famous for its crypto ban, which has been going since autumn 2017, when the country prohibited ICOs. A witch-hunt for crypto exchanges and crypto trading followed but many traders started using VPN.

Now, China is planning to eliminate crypto mining in the country and at the same time is working on launching its own Central bank-supported digital coin pegged to yuan.
