- China must avoid excessive stock market volatilty in the short term, which will require more precise supervision and expectation management, said 21st Century Business Herald in a commentary. Authorities must strictly prohibit investors from using credit funds to engage in speculation and guard against overseas funds using Hong Kong stocks as leverage to amplify A-share fluctuations through various offshore financial instruments, the newspaper said.
- Beijing has urged the U.S. to lift sanctions on Chinese companies as soon as possible and improve the business environment during a phone call between China’s Commerce Minister Wang Wentao and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.
