During this period, China’s securities regulator, Wu Qing, announced regulatory reforms aimed at supporting innovation and technology companies. These include establishing a new "growth tier" on the STAR Market in Shanghai to enhance regulatory flexibility, reviving IPOs for unprofitable firms on the STAR Market, and allowing Shenzhen’s ChiNext board to list such companies. The reforms also signal an upgrade to China’s financial infrastructure to better serve innovation and tech sectors. Additionally, reports indicated that the suspension of the "national subsidy" would not disrupt the smooth distribution of remaining funds.
