China’s securities regulator calls for research into quantitative trading and share-sale rules

Originally reported November 14, 2026.

Wu Qing, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, called for further research into China’s rules on quantitative trading and reductions in shareholdings. Speaking at the opening of the first China Capital Markets Academic Annual Conference in Shanghai, he said researchers should assess how those rules could be improved and what fair, reasonable regulatory arrangements would look like.

Wu framed the issue as part of a broader study of market structure, including investor behavior, price discovery, liquidity and trading costs. His remarks were a call for research and evaluation, not an announcement of new trading or share-sale rules.

He also urged research into how listing rules could better accommodate large and emerging technology companies while addressing risks, and into the implications of artificial intelligence for disclosure, data security and financial-market infrastructure.
