Adhering to the basic concept of “Relaxing Restriction and Strengthen Regulation” and striving to meet the requirements put forward by Chairman Xiao Gang, the SSE has propelled the transformation of its functions, boosted the innovation on regulatory concepts, and specified the relationship between prerequisite admittance and aftermath regulation, so as to change from “Prerequisite Examination” to “Aftermath Regulation” and improve the regulatory efficiency.
