Apparently, Government authorities in China have spotted illegal Bitcoin mines in the Sichuan region which are set up in various hydropower stations. The land resource Bureau has information regarding these bitcoin mines which have no approval from the government. The entire information about the discovery of such illegal bitcoin mines sources back to a local news agency.

There is one power station in North Sichuan which has no authorization from the government. Similarly, there is Ginkang power station which has enough resources to host 50,000 units of bitcoin mining equipment. 60 percent of that resource is fully active as of now.

As per the rules, if a bitcoin mine is set up within the authorized area of a power station, it’s usage will go through verification. Otherwise, it will be treated as illegal construction with non-approval from the government body. Then necessary legal steps will follow.

A representative of the Economic and Information Bureau further says that the county of Garze doesn’t allow outside investment to engage in Bitcoin. A thorough investigation will take place regarding the motives of the business before landing on any decision.
