Beijing, February 8, 2025 – The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has declared a firm stance against illegal and non-compliant activities that infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of investors, promising to pursue such violations to the very end.
The announcement, disseminated via the CSRC’s official WeChat account, follows an investor symposium held on February 7th, where the commission actively sought feedback and suggestions on bolstering investor protection and fostering high-quality development within the capital market.
We are committed to creating a fair, just, and transparent investment environment, stated a CSRC spokesperson. The protection of investor rights is paramount to the healthy and sustainable growth of China’s capital market. We will not tolerate any behavior that undermines this principle.
The CSRC’s pledge underscores the government’s increasing focus on safeguarding the interests of retail investors, who play a significant role in the Chinese stock market. This commitment comes at a time when market volatility and concerns over corporate governance have heightened investor anxieties.
The symposium provided a platform for investors to voice their concerns and offer recommendations on issues ranging from information disclosure and insider trading to market manipulation and corporate fraud. The CSRC has assured the public that these suggestions will be carefully considered in formulating future policies and regulations.
This renewed emphasis on investor protection is expected to have a positive impact on market confidence and attract more long-term investment. By cracking down on illegal activities and ensuring a level playing field, the CSRC aims to create a more robust and sustainable capital market that benefits both investors and the broader economy.
The CSRC’s announcement signals a clear message to market participants: investor protection is a top priority, and any violation of investor rights will be met with swift and decisive action. This commitment is crucial for building trust and fostering a healthy and vibrant capital market in China.
