On Oct. 19 CSRC chairman Wu Qing gave the keynote at the 2026 Financial Street Forum. Wanlian Securities chief economist Long Hongliang said the speech set out systematic steps on market-stabilization mechanisms, attracting long-term funds, support for tech innovation and investor protection, signaling a pro-reform policy stance. Long said China’s capital market is pursuing sustained reform to strengthen resilience, broaden value-creation channels and marshal more financial resources for high-quality growth. He highlighted the call to "further improve capital market functions coordinating investment and financing," saying it signals tighter institutional alignment to better serve corporate financing and deliver long-term investor returns, and that regulators are proactively responding to complex conditions to bolster market resilience.
