A Study on the Regulation of Price Manipulation in the Chinese Stock Market

Abstract

China's stock market was formally established in late 1990, and the regulation of market manipulation began in 1993. Both the formation of the stock market and the regulation of manipulation have a relatively short history, and there is great room for improvement. In the Chinese stock market, there is a general perception of the existence of main forces, which play a decisive role in the manipulation of stock market prices. Obviously, the existence of the principal phenomenon is extremely detrimental to the healthy development of the Chinese stock market. For the sake of market regulation and market development, market regulators wish to recognise the phenomenon of main force. Therefore, this paper examines market price manipulation and analyses its impact on the stock market so as to make recommendations in improving stock market regulations and restraining market price manipulation.
