In today's digital age, Bitcoin, as a virtual currency, has always attracted much attention. Recently, however, foreign media have claimed that China has taken actions to purge Bitcoin mining. This move has triggered widespread discussion and sparked heated discussions about its impact on the global digital financial market. Let’s delve deeper into this topic to understand the reasons and possible implications.

Bitcoin mining has boomed in China over the past few years, attracting significant investment and talent. However, the Chinese government has recently taken a series of measures aimed at weeding out Bitcoin mining companies. This move triggered widespread attention and speculation from the international community. In order to better understand the reasons behind this action, we need to analyze and explore it from multiple perspectives.

First, the Chinese government may take this action out of environmental protection considerations. The Bitcoin mining process requires a large amount of electricity and often uses energy such as fossil fuels, resulting in energy waste and environmental pollution. China has been actively promoting green and environmentally friendly development and may believe that clearing out Bitcoin mining will help reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution, which is in line with the national sustainable development strategy.

Second, the Chinese government may also consider financial risks and regulatory challenges. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are highly volatile and carry large speculative risks, which may lead to financial instability. In addition, regulating the virtual currency market is also a global problem. The Chinese government’s removal of Bitcoin mining companies may be to regulate the digital currency market and protect investor interests and financial market stability.

In addition, the Chinese government may also be considering national security factors. The anonymity and cross-border characteristics of virtual currency may be used by criminals for money laundering, illegal transactions and other activities, posing a threat to national security. Eliminating Bitcoin mining companies can reduce these potential risks and maintain national security and financial order.

In general, there may be multiple considerations behind China’s actions to eliminate Bitcoin mining companies. From environmental protection, financial stability to national security, they are all factors that the Chinese government may consider. What impact this move will have on the global digital financial market remains to be further observed and studied.

In the future, with the adjustment of China's Bitcoin mining industry, the digital financial market may usher in a new pattern and development opportunities. Whether it is strengthening supervision, promoting innovation or promoting green development, this initiative will affect the evolution of the global digital financial landscape. Let us wait and see and witness the future development and transformation of digital finance.

According to a report by the British Financial Times on the 10th, China is taking action to ban the domestic Bitcoin mining industry due to concerns about excessive power consumption and financial risks. This move reflects the authorities’ judgment that cryptocurrency is not a strategic industry.

According to a document seen by the Financial Times, a cross-departmental leadership group directed provincial governments to "actively guide" companies within their jurisdictions to exit the cryptocurrency mining industry. Before putting pressure on miners, China had shut down the country and banned initial coin offerings (ICOs).

Miners create new Bitcoins by solving complex mathematical problems. Although ostensibly a computing task, the reliance on raw computing power makes the process more like industrial manufacturing than a traditional high-tech business. Many Bitcoin miners have established operations in remote areas without even registering a company. Some miners are also skirting around Chinese regulations that prevent end users from purchasing electricity directly from power generators rather than grid operators.

According to Liao Xiang, CEO of Shenzhen mining company Lightningasic, China’s mining production accounts for three-quarters of the world’s total Bitcoin production. Chinese miners have taken advantage of cheap electricity in areas rich in coal or hydropower resources, including Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan and Yunnan. Data from Digiconomist, a website that tracks industry trends, shows that globally, the mining industry accounts for 0.17% of total electricity consumption, covering more than 161 countries.

The Chinese government is using state investment and a series of industrial policies to strive for global leadership in strategic technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics, but the crackdown on Bitcoin miners reflects a judgment that cryptocurrencies do not deserve state support.

The above-mentioned document stated that the Bitcoin mining industry “consumes a large amount of resources and also contributes to the speculation of ‘virtual currency’.” The document added that the mining business runs counter to official efforts; officials intend to prevent financial risks and curb activities that "deviate from the needs of the real economy."

The Internet Financial Risk Special Rectification Office Leading Group, led by the People's Bank of China, has led the tightening of supervision on P2P loans and online consumer loans in the past. The order does not require local governments to shut down mining operations directly, but to squeeze them out by strictly enforcing policies on electricity, land use, taxation and environmental protection.

Chinese miners are looking for ways to move operations abroad — either by physically moving factories or selling their expertise. Cheap electricity and a cool climate (which helps prevent computers from overheating) are major requirements. Canada, Iceland, Eastern Europe and Russia were seen as the most promising destinations.

Industry players say that China has never been a particularly suitable location for mining anyway, even after accounting for electricity costs in some areas being lower than the national average, and that China’s current dominance is largely due to owning the materials used in the mining process. Developed supply chain for computer components.

“The difficulty is that establishing operations in other countries requires time and capital to build large data centers,” said Lightningasic’s Liao Xiang. “This requires a lot of power. Typical industrial parks do not meet the requirements.”
