CSRC Chairman Wu Qing Pledges Integrated Risk Prevention, Regulation, and Development; State-Owned Firms

China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) Chairman Wu Qing said at an investor symposium that the regulator will integrate risk prevention, stronger regulation, and high-quality development to maintain stable market operations.
