On January 12, 2021, the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) issued a disciplinary decision to publicly condemn Brilliance Auto Group Holdings Co., Ltd. (the “Brilliance Group” for short), and the chairman and the person in charge of information disclosure at the company. The decision has been made after verifying the facts of Brilliance Group's major violations, and it is also a necessary move to tighten the discipline in the market. Although Brilliance Group’s violations are a separate case, with high degree of attention and adverse impact on the market, the case has dampened the confidence of the investors and the market to a certain extent, and affected the healthy and orderly development of the bond market.

Going forward, the SSE will implement the arrangements of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), adhere to the fundamental goal of the capital market serving the real economy, well balance the relationship between promoting development and preventing risks, enhance the rule of law in the bond market, continue to improve the mechanism for risk prevention and control, optimize the structure of products in the bond market, and steadily propel the high-quality development of the bond market.
