Recent media reports of police raids at Binance's Chinese offices have been found to be untrue. Representatives of the crypto-exchange denied the information about the alleged raid of authorities and the subsequent closure of the company’s representative offices in Shanghai. In a conversation with the Cointelegraph, a Binance representative even stated that such offices do not exist at all:



“The Binance team is a global movement consisting of people working in a decentralized manner wherever they are in the world. Binance has no fixed offices in Shanghai or China, so it makes no sense that police raided on any offices and shut them down.”
