China banned cryptocurrency trading as of June 2019. Despite the fact that cryptocurrency transactions are still being conducted through foreign online exchanges, the PBoC announced that it will block access to all domestic and international cryptocurrency exchanges, as well as ICO websites.
Later, in 2021, China made bitcoin mining illegal. This industry is subject to extremely strict government regulations.
Meng Wei, a spokeswoman for China's National Development and Reform Commission, a macroeconomic planning body, described cryptocurrency mining as an "extremely dangerous" sector that imperials China's attempts to achieve carbon neutrality.
The ban on cryptocurrencies was lifted by the Chinese government in 2023. The laws governing the cryptocurrency industry in China have not changed significantly, despite the fact that the Chinese government opposes blockchain, a closely related technology to cryptocurrencies.

The sudden rise in the value of Chinese cryptocurrency assets at the start of 2023 completely astounded the sector. The widespread concern that the country led by Xi Jinping will lift the ban on digital assets is said to be the cause of this increase, according to reports.

Hong Kong, which has close ties to China, introduced licensing requirements for cryptocurrency exchanges that wished to operate there and legalized trading of particular crypto assets, which is how this issue came about.
China might, if anything, keep an eye on Hong Kong's reaction to regulatory adjustments, the launch of new blockchain-based goods or services, and any potential expansion of trade and business activity.
