Edit: On closer inspection, it turns out China did not ban gold selling. Read more here.
Gold farming will continue. Making a vague law is one thing, enforcing it is a totally different matter in China. Though even if they actually stop gold farming in China, there are still India and Vietnam. :X
Bottom line remains the same more or less. The only way to stop gold farming is if Blizzard starts selling either BOE items or (probably not) gold themselves.

Gold farming has never been the issue.
Else you can outlaw and ban every single player that chain-ran the scarlet bastion to get enough gold to buy their mount before TBC.
The shiny new guild master with his cohort: we-have-credit-cards, we-are-lazy-G8-players, we-are-free-to-buy-wow-gold, ..... are those in demand !
Ask the moppet!
You don’t have a stinky demand for moppets?
Cheers ! You ended the stinky supply of moppets…
Anyway, just a biased point of view.
Best Regards.
Well, for once I agree with the Chinese government.
