China’s securities regulator has proposed sweeping rules aimed at overhauling oversight of the country’s listed companies, reports Caixin. The proposal focuses on tightening corporate governance, improving information disclosure and enhancing investor protection.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) published a 74-article draft regulation titled Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Listed Companies for public comment on Dec 5, with submissions accepted through Jan 5.
The draft marks Beijing’s most comprehensive push in years to clean up its capital markets and raise the overall quality of listed firms. Despite the rapid growth of China’s equity markets, with 5,444 companies listed on the A-share market as of the end of Oct 2025, persistent concerns remain over poor governance, misleading disclosures and misconduct by executives and major shareholders.
