Hmm.. Didn't know that. But the fact that CCTV was allowed to run a 1 hour pro BTC documentary means that the Chinese Communist Party approved it. They'd NEVER let anything that flouts their strict restrictions to be aired with impunity. Additionally, wouldn't put it past the Chinese to prop up a currency (virtual or other) that would snub and/or challenge the US dollar.. dont you think? But then the flip side is, China holds a LARGE amount of US dollars. So that might be like cutting off the nose to spite the face? I'm not an economist.. I don't know. But China nothing airs on CCTV (especially something like Bitcoin) without a greenlight from the government. Interesting indeed.
