Changqiao Securities stated that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), among other mainland regulatory authorities, have recently issued new regulatory requirements for cross-border securities business, establishing unified industry-wide standards for related services to mainland investors. These regulatory rules apply to all overseas financial institutions. Changqiao is actively responding to the regulatory guidelines from both regions and will strictly adhere to the relevant requirements to steadily advance its compliance work. Changqiao Securities stated that the scope of accounts targeted for this regulatory cleanup is limited and clearly defined, primarily targeting two types of accounts: investment accounts opened using suspicious or forged documents, and investment accounts with zero balances and no activity. Normal, compliant client accounts with genuine assets and holdings are not within the scope of this cleanup. Changqiao firmly supports the regulators zero-tolerance attitude towards fraudulent account openings and will strictly handle such cases in accordance with regulatory requirements.
