  "summary": "China's securities regulator, led by Wu Qing, has unveiled a series of market-stabilising measures aimed at attracting fresh funds and encouraging stock buy-backs, signaling a shift in Beijing's strategy from short-term market intervention to long-term investor confidence building. While the measures did not immediately boost stocks, with the benchmark CSI 300 Index falling over a 1% this week, industry players praised the shift in regulatory approach, emphasizing the focus on building a regular system rather than relying on short-term contingency measures. The regulator approved 18 actively managed ETFs, potentially channeling 2 billion yuan of fresh capital into the market, and plans to gradually increase foreign ownership in China's onshore stock market through the expansion of cross-border Stock Connect programme.",
