China blocks crypto websites (Modified Cartel)

JAKARTA – After banning crypto, China reportedly blocked a number of crypto sites. 8BTC News reports that the coinmarketcap.com and coinecko.com websites have been blocked by the Chinese government. Not only that, they also block tradingview.com.

China has a Great Firewall (GFW) to censor websites on the internet by utilizing the forces deployed by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC). Therefore, many international web domains cannot be accessed by Chinese people.

In addition, Mainland Chinese citizens are also reported to be unable to access websites of information providers and social media such as Wikipedia, Google, Twitter and Facebook.

A few days ago, the People's Bank of China (PBoC) strictly prohibited its citizens from accessing crypto exchanges for committing illegal violations. The announcement from China's central bank has caused crypto prices to fall.

On Tuesday 28 September, 8BTC News shared screenshots of a number of inaccessible domains such as coinmarketcap.com and coinecko.com. In addition, greatfire.org and BLOCKY Analysis also show that the website is 100 percent blocked.

Not only that, a number of crypto trading websites such as huobi.com, okex.com, and Bitstamp are also blocked by the Chinese government. Coupled with blocking uniswap.org. On September 27, the largest cryptocurrency trading in the United States, Coinbase also suffered the same fate.

This proves that China is getting harder and harder to stem the rate of crypto after they launched the digital yuan some time ago. Of course, this is not the first time China has caused the crypto market to crash. However, Chinese citizens can still access a number of these blocked crypto websites by using different VPNs or proxies.
