According to the head of CryptoQuant, the Chinese government exercises strict control over cryptocurrency markets. For example, it can hold BTC to diversify the government portfolio or reject cryptocurrency assets to destroy cryptocurrency markets.

Ki Yong Joo said these are not the only Chinese holdings of digital cryptocurrency assets that have seen the light of day.
