“Questioned about the central bank’s recent actions limiting bitcoin use in China, its chief of the survey and statistics department Sheng Song Cheng stressed that bitcoin’s status in China was that of a ‘virtual good’, and that the bank’s position was in line with other countries’ stances. The Chinese authorities have forbidden both financial institutions and third-party payment processors from accessing bitcoin exchanges in recent months. Sheng is also not known to be a digital currency fan. He was quoted in an English translation of a previous Chinese media report as saying: ‘Bitcoin is merely a utopia for technology supremacists and absolute liberalists.'”
