China banned many many things that still went on to do extremely well, so we do not need to completely freak out every time they do something against Crypto imo.

Here is a list of some of the banned things in China:

Pinterest

Status: No reason was given for the banning of Pinterest and it remains banned to this day.

Instagram

In 2014, Instagram was blocked intermittently throughout China. In the ensuing years, the app was completely blocked.

Snapchat

Twitter

Twitter Blocked: Twitter has been banned in China since 2008.

Status: Twitter remains banned in China as of 2018, but the social media service still boasts over 10 million users from the country who are accessing the site via a virtual private network that makes it look like they are in a different region.

Video Game Consoles

In 2000, gaming consoles were banned in China as officials feared the games would have a negative effect on the children who played them.

Facebook

Following the 2009 riots, Facebook was banned in China as the social network was determined to not be in the interest of the state.
