China government certainly does not hate bitcoin.
But a lot are using "bitcoin" to run scam, and also using ICO to raise money without any real intention of building something.
so the government need to make an effort to protect their innocent citizens from getting scam (regulation!).
Also they are afraid of people using cryptocurrency as a tool, to "wash" their money and etc.
They don't hate blockchain/cryptocurrency as a technology.
Definitely right. China certainly does not hate bitcoin, in fact it helps their economy being liquid and running through the several transactions and money it circulates. The reason on why they prohibit their ICOs is because many individuals are using it as an avenue for abusing payments, which results to several investors doubting. The tentative solution that they did was to ban their ICOs in their country which can prohibit and lessen the continuous influx of scammers. Lastly, their prohibition also affected bitcoin transactions under the dark web in their country affecting drug trades and paraphernalia.
