It is very much possible for a communist government like China. They are infamous for violating human rights. For reference, you can check out the current situation of Uyghurs Muslims in Xinjiang. Every possible human rights are being violated for them by the Chinese Government and they are being denied even the basic requirements of life. So it is very much possible for Chinese government to forcefully take over the mining operations under their own control. Probably this is unimaginable in first world countries, but very much possible in China. If this happens, it would not give us a positive impact on the market.
This news is slowly coming out but over half the Bitcoin miners are Chinese entities!
What would happen if the Chinese Govt took the mining over from the entities: It is a scary possibility and i was made aware of it on a you tube channel that has 200,000 subscribers!
