THE SHANGHAI STOCK EXCHANGE
The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) (Simplified Chinese: 上海证券交易所; Traditional
Chinese: 上海證券交易所; pinyin: Shànghǎi Zhèngquàn Jiāoyìsuǒ) is a Chinese stock
exchange based in the city of Shanghai and the largest in Mainland China.
The current exchange was re-established on November 26, 1990 and was in
operation on December 19 of the same year. It is a non-profit organization
directly administered by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC).
Mainland China has a second, smaller, stock exchange: the Shenzhen Stock
Exchange, located in the city of Shenzhen. The distinction is made for
Mainland China because the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, located in the special
administrative region of Hong Kong, is the largest stock exchange in China,
and has a separate history.
