I think a major contributor to FUD in this case is the translated interpretation of "financing trading platforms". In my observation, this does NOT mean mean "Yuan to BTC" exchange, but instead exchanges that are set up specifically to host ICOs, for example ICOINFO: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http...

Perhaps so, I'm not an oracle on this matter, but it at least seems possible that this is wider that just banning ICOs and ICO trading platforms.

I guess wait and see what happens, because even if the official statement was explicit, whether any action is taken and what action that might be is another question entirely.
