Is there more chinese deadlines in the air or is all the planned/rumored stuff behind us yet..?

For deposits, not really; although if the government did not like the bank-transfer channels, they may  not like also any workaround that the exchanges may use to get the same effect (such as Huobi's recharge cards).  But there are no news at present.

For withdrawals, the Caixin article that first leaked the PBoC circular (discounting the earlier leak, denied on the same day by the PBoC) gave April 15 at the deadline to close all ties, after a period when only deposits would be blocked.   Obviously the implementation of the circular has been happening more slowly than claimed in that article; but, apart from that, the article has been confirmed so far.  Thus there is still room for more bad news.

In early may, australian banks are supposed to shut off some bitcoin-related businesses' accounts.

The news I saw were about ONE Australian bank (a government-owned one perhaps?) that decided on its own to close an exchange's account as of May 1.  Are there other similar decisions?
