Synopsis
This talk provides an in-depth and updated analysis of insider trading regulation in China, looking at both “law in books” and “law in action”. Since the early 1990s, China has gradually set up a regulatory regime for insider trading in line with international experiences. Twenty-five years on, how effective has China’s insider trading regulation been? How is it enforced? What are the recent developments and trends? This talk presents key findings from an empirical study of China’s insider trading cases to provide insight into public and private enforcement of the law, and offer comments on the future direction in which the Chinese law may evolve.
