China has eliminated the top of its securities regulator after a steep drop within the nation’s inventory market, based on a report from state media.
Yi Huiman has been eliminated as head of the China Securities Regulatory Fee, Xinhua Information Company reported. He’ll get replaced by Wu Qing, a veteran of the company who additionally ran the Shanghai Inventory Trade for 2 years.
The Xinhua report didn’t say why Yi has been changed. Xi Jinping, China’s president, reportedly met with regulators on Tuesday to debate the slide within the inventory market.
The volatility within the inventory market has upset China’s residents to such a level that they began commenting on a U.S. embassy social media submit on giraffes to lament the downturn.
