Looks like a crypto currency event might be happening if the 2009 Greek govt and banking collapse was anything to go by.

I wonder how many tonns of coal they burned

Because that is what you would care of if you try to bring your wealth offshore.

That was a big business until Xi decided to close that loophole. I am pretty sure there is some marginal mining operation in the dark in China. But the times of big miners and big flows moving out of China is over.

Have we already seen it? Chinese currency controls might be what's keeping it as high as it is.
