🇨🇳💰 Why does Donald Trump believe China is “big into crypto” even after banning it? Let’s break it down 👇 Trump’s been loud about one thing lately, if the U.S. doesn’t embrace crypto, China will. To him, it’s not just about Bitcoin or digital money, it’s about global power and control of the next generation of financial technology. On paper, China banned crypto trading and mining years ago, citing energy use and financial risks. But Trump argues the ban isn’t the whole story, that China’s still deeply involved in the crypto world, just behind the scenes. He points to China’s lasting footprint in the space. Even after the mining ban, a huge chunk of Bitcoin’s global hash rate can still be traced back to Chinese-linked operations or infrastructure originally built there. Chinese tech firms are also pivoting toward tokenization, AI-driven trading, and blockchain applications all without calling it “crypto.” Then there’s Hong Kong, now acting as China’s controlled experiment for digital assets. While Beijing stays officially strict, Hong Kong is quietly building itself into a regional crypto hub. That gives China indirect access and influence, without reversing its ban. Trump’s takeaway is simple: if the U.S. hesitates, China will take the lead in digital finance. He’s framing crypto as a national security issue, a strategic race to dominate the digital economy. In his view, Bitcoin, blockchain, and stablecoins are as much geopolitical tools as they are financial assets. Of course, not everyone agrees. Critics argue China’s bans are real and enforced, that its focus is on its own digital yuan, a centralized currency, not a decentralized crypto. Others say Trump’s using the “China card” to push pro-crypto policies and energize a tech-savvy voter base. Still, there’s a truth behind the noise: China has the infrastructure, the talent, and the motivation to pivot fast if it chooses. Even if it’s playing from the shadows now, it’s not out of the game. 🔥💬 What do you think — is China secretly still a crypto powerhouse, or has it really stepped away for good?
