China’s securities regulator calls for study of quantitative trading and share-sale rules

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 share sales by shareholders, including how to make regulatory arrangements fair and reasonable. He made the remarks at the opening of the first annual academic conference of the China Capital Market Society in Shanghai.

Wu framed the issue as part of a broader study of how market structure affects pricing, liquidity, trading costs and investor protection. His speech did not announce a rule change. He also called for research into long-term capital, short-term trading behavior, and risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence in capital markets.

Describing the scale of the market, Wu said the total value of A-shares had exceeded 100 trillion yuan and China’s bond market had grown beyond 210 trillion yuan. Those figures were presented in his speech, not as newly released market data.
