Last updated 8 February 2013 Introduction The Chamber’s special projects have evolved
over the last 15 years or so and within the tradition of activism set by the
ACCCI Founding Board led by Darcy Carter, President 1976-89. In 1998 two Chamber delegations visited
China; the first as the official guest of the Peoples Daily, the CCP
newspaper, to participate in a seminar at which papers were delivered on
global trade trends and cultural soft-power possibilities by the ACCCI
President and second Vice President respectively, and the second as the guest
of the China Dragon Boat Association for their National Championship in
Shanghai at which the broad issue of sporting relations and its business
implications were discussed. Subsequently nine official ACCCI
delegations visited China during 2001-2004, seven led by President Michael C
H Jones during the two years 2002 and 2003 wherein approximately 50 city
visits were made across China from Changchun in northern Jilin Province to Sanya in southern Hainan, and from Shanghai to Urumqi in
Xinjiang Autonomous Region. This was in part to promote the ACCCI Key Cities
Strategy as per this Website. However a series of additional projects
were launched involving Chamber guarantees for SME which were ended in
November 2008 - January 2009 during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC).
Nevertheless historical activities have continued with necessary adjustments
according to new circumstances such that the Chamber has over the years
undertaken Briefings at Global, National, Provincial and Municipal levels of
government. Moreover an attempt has been made to limit and develop in depth
four projects each in Australia and China. These are: Australia Innovation and Technology
Commercialisation - AITCP Programme Australia Inwards Investment - AIIP

Assessing
China's Top-Down Securities Markets
Abbreviated
abstract: China’s securities markets are
unlike those of Amsterdam, London or New York. Those markets evolved over
centuries from myriad interactions among those seeking finance on the one
hand and savers seeking rewarding investments on the other. Such spontaneous
securities markets did emerge throughout China in the 1980s following the
start of economic liberalisation, but these spontaneous markets were closed
by the government in favour of new and tightly controlled exchanges
established in the early 1990s in Shanghai and Shenzhen. These new markets
have been designed to and largely limited to, serving state purposes, that is
to assist in the financing of the state sector of the economy. Rather than
evolving in a bottom-up pattern, they are controlled, top-down securities
markets. This essay reviews as of June 2010, the development of these
markets, the economic functions they perform, the regulatory structure that
controls and shapes them, and the governance mechanisms - legal and otherwise
- that controls the management of the PRC listed companies. |
