Earlier Actions:
In 2013 and 2017, China has taken the step to ban this unregulated currency, but they have not succeeded. This time Beijing financial regulators are helping the government to ban this currency trading. Once again China has taken a step to stop cryptocurrency trading.
Why ban it
As per government remarks, the aim behind the ban of cryptocurrency is to support the government currency Yuan. Due to this privately managed currency, the government was losing control of the forex trading market, which leads to increase systematic risk of financial markets. Cryptocurrency hurts the investor and promotes crime.
AS per the famous news agency, the New York Times, China has banned cryptocurrency because they want to launch its digital currency, the electronic Chines Yuan. China government has two main agendas, to promote its digital currency and secondly, to make its citizen away from privately financial service providers AliPay and WeChat. China Government will collect the financial transaction data of its citizens through this government-owned regulated digital currency.
