CSRC spokesperson response to reporter question
Q:Recently, there were foreign media reports suggesting that China's securities regulator had banned major institutional investors from share selling at market open and close, and banned institutions from shorting A-shares through stock index futures. What is the CSRC's comment on this?
A: Stock market moves on buying and selling activities. Regulatory authorities do not intervene in normal market transactions. We will protect investors' rights to fair and unrestricted tradings, and resolutely crack down on illegal activities that disrupt market trading order in accordance with laws and regulations.
Recently, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges took regulatory measures against abnormal trading behaviors of certain institutions according to rules. These actions were taken to fulfill their trading supervision responsibilities, not limiting share selling.
Moving forward, the CSRC will guide Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges and China Financial Futures Exchange to improve supervisory rules on abnormal tradings, with zero tolerance on illegal activities such as market manipulation and insider trading, so as to safeguard market trading order.
