CSRC officially promulgated the rules for supervision and administration of depository receipts under the stock connect scheme between Shanghai Stock Exchange, or SSE, and London Stock Exchange, or LSE, (for trial implementation).

The regulations shall be implemented as of the date of promulgation.

- Clarifying the auditing system for the Chinese Depository Receipt (CDR) issuance
