MNI with a piece in the China Securities Journal on an analysis from the China Association of Public Companies (CAPC)

  • Investors may have overstated how much major shareholders of listed companies cut their stakes
  • That is possibly is one of the reasons for stock market's recent sharp falls
  • Only a quarter of the listed companies sold their stocks even during the first half of 2015 when the stock markets was surging
  • Even then, most of them did not reduce their stakes via the secondary market
  • CAPC says listed companies would continue efforts to develop a stable and healthy stock market.
