Supporting Various High-Quality M&A Cases to Accelerate Implementation Shanghai Stock Exchange Deputy General Manager Wang Bo Speaks Out

STCN | Local Language | News | Nov. 14, 2025 | UndeterminedMergers & Acquisitions

On November 12, Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) Deputy General Manager Wang Bo highlighted the SSE’s support for high-quality mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to accelerate implementation, focusing on creating an institutional environment suited to technological innovation and foreign capital needs. Since early 2025, the Chinese capital market has been on an upward trajectory, with increased investment opportunities. M&A and restructuring activities among A-share listed companies have entered an active phase, with over 1,000 M&A transactions disclosed on the Shanghai market, including a 138% year-on-year increase in major asset restructurings since the introduction of the "Six M&A Measures." Technology-related M&A grew 287% year-on-year, reflecting a strategic shift toward emerging industries, while traditional sectors are pursuing transformation and industrial integration for growth.

Wang emphasized that M&A has become a bridge between domestic and international markets. Chinese enterprises are engaging in overseas M&A to acquire advanced technologies and new market opportunities, while attracting foreign capital domestically through equity issuance and M&A. Since the release of new Strategic Investor Management Measures, foreign capital has participated in more than ten equity issuance transactions on the Shanghai market. M&A and restructuring activities optimize resource allocation, enhance the quality and investment value of listed companies, and offer new opportunities for international investors, particularly in technology companies on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board (STAR Market) and transforming traditional industries.

The SSE is promoting high-level opening-up and building an ecosystem to attract, retain, and develop foreign capital through deeper cooperation with global capital markets and enhanced services for international investors. The SSE aims to offer higher-quality targets with nearly 2,300 listed companies and a total market capitalization exceeding 60 trillion yuan, focusing on attracting more high-quality listings and improving company quality. The exchange is improving the institutional framework by advancing market-oriented reforms, optimizing rules, and maintaining the "Six M&A Measures" to support M&A suited for innovation and foreign investment.

Regulatory efforts are geared toward inclusiveness and scientific effectiveness, balancing vitality with robust oversight to foster a well-ordered M&A market. Service enhancements include offering M&A courses, manuals, and practical operational support, promoting effective communication with global investors, and expanding cross-border interconnection mechanisms to facilitate foreign investment. Wang Bo concluded by inviting international investors to actively participate in China’s M&A market and benefit from its modernization efforts.
