Huang Qifan to Replace Shang Fulin as CSRC Chairman

September 16th, 2004

Shang Fulin will leave the CSRC, and Huang Qifan will become its new chairman according to this report in the Financial Times and this report in the South China Morning Post.

Shang never charmed me, but as one PRC source told the FT, “Simply appointing a new boss doesn’t get to the point. What really works is a radical reformation of the system.” Precisely.
