China will deepen cross-border regulation and support domestic companies listing in Hong Kong, said Li Chao, vice chairman of the market regulator, on Tuesday morning. The regulatory push aims to reinforce capital ties between mainland markets and the global financial hub. The initiative targets fraudulent cross-border capital activities to maintain market integrity.
