"China Implements New Restrictions to Curb Stock Market Decline"

China's securities regulator has limited short-selling in an attempt to address the ongoing stock market rout, suspending the lending of restricted shares and imposing new restrictions on the borrowing and lending of shares for short-selling. Despite these efforts, market sentiment remains uncertain, with concerns about the impact of China's property crisis and challenges in attracting foreign investors. Chinese authorities have also implemented various measures, including potential orders for state-owned enterprises to buy shares and plans to evaluate company heads based on stock market performance, in an effort to stabilize the market.
