Authorities in Ya’an City, a prefecture-level city in the western part of Sichuan province, have ordered local Bitcoin mining operations to shut down for examination, Chinese financial publication Sina Finance reported Friday.
Citing an anonymous source from Chinese news agency PA News, the report said that it is unclear when or whether miners will restart mining operations.
