China is making its sanctions on Bitcoin miners even tougher after its Inner Mongolia regional government set out more stringent punishment for violators.

On Tuesday, the Inner Mongolia, National Development and Reformation Commission (NDRC) issued a proposal, outlining 8 areas that are perceived as illegal for crypto mining activities.

This is coming barely a week after the Chinese government hinted that it will start a massive crackdown on Bitcoin mining activities.

According to the earlier notice, the Chinese government says it is intensifying efforts to ban mining operations in the country due to its environmental implications. It said the extreme emission of carbon through crypto mining is in direct contrast with the country’s goals of reducing carbon emissions.

The NDRC has opened its portal for public comments about the guideline from May 25 to June 1 before the final decision is taken.

Last week, the crypto community in China was put in a frenzied state after Chinese Vice Premier Liu He announced that the government is looking to crackdown on Bitcoin trading and mining.

He stated that the reason was to prevent the “transmission of individual risks to the social field.”

The comments were in line with China’s intentions to speed up its four-year crackdown on Bitcoin trading and related activities.

But the latest draft proposal by Inner Mongolia is specifically directed at internet and telecommunications companies that engage in virtual currency mining. According to NDRC, if such companies are involved in crypto mining, they could lose their business license in the country.

The situation in China has also affected the price of Bitcoin (BTC/USD), as the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency has shed more than 30% after the Vice Premier’s announcement.
