The strange thing is that they didn't ban BITCOIN they just banned the exchanges. Mining Bitcoin is still perfectly legal in China.

That is same as Gold, they don't export it even though they are the biggest gold miners, just importing mostly. It could be the same reason with bitcoin. So Chinese can buy overseas but not allowed to sell it. And probably the government also own some bitcoins too
