I think this announcement is like free marketing for Red Pulse, I am normally not interested in ICOs, now I have to go and check out who this Red Pulse company is and what exactly they do. Since they only accept NEO tokens for their ICO, people who want to get their tokens will have to buy NEO tokens. So I guess that the price of NEO will pick up soon. And Chinese nationals are not the only ones get excluded from this ICO, people in the US and Singapore are also excluded.
