2022 Olympics effect emerging in China

Stockholm, Aug. 16(Greenpost) — Still roughly seven years to go before the 2022 Winter Olympics open in Beijing, the “Olympic Effect” has begun to emerge.

For co-bidder Zhangjiakou, the successful bid not only means holding snow events, but also a catalyst for social and economic development.

Changes have already taken place in Chongli, a county in Zhangjiakou where cross country, freestyle and other skiing events would be held. Polluting mines are being closed, a specific measure to clear smog.

And, Chongli has attracted more tourists and skiing fans since Beijing launched the joint bid with Zhangjiakou in November, 2013.

The 2022 Winter Games is expected to further bolster local tourism and the skiing industry. Zhangjiakou expects the 2022 event to generate 350 billion yuan of investment and create 200,000 jobs.

Preparations for the Winter Olympics will accelerate the economic integration of this area into Beijing and Tianjin, its two developed neighboring municipalities.

A high-speed railway under construction linking Beijing and Zhangjiakou will cut the travel time from the capital to Chongli to around 50 minutes.

In Beijing, the authorities have vowed to curb air pollution, cutting PM2.5 by 20 percent by 2017, and by 45 percent in 2022. The Olympics will push Beijing to clean its sky. In another word, more blue skies might be the most important legacy of the event.

Beijing beat Almaty by 44 votes to 40 to win the hosting rights of the 2022 Winter Olympics at the 128th IOC session on July 31. Enditem

China to regulate online equity financing platforms

Stockholm, Aug. 16 (Greenpost) — China’s securities regulator will soon begin inspecting online equity financing platforms to address risks brought by illegal activities and help the platforms better serve the real economy, according to Xinhua.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) will oversee several kinds of online platform, including equity-based crowdfunding, which allows investors to receive a stake in a company funded by pooling money from many people via the Internet, said Deng Ge, spokesman for the CSRC, at a press conference Friday.

The inspection aims to discover and correct illegal activities, minimize risks and lead platforms to perform better in serving the real economy, Deng said.

The inspection will focus on several aspects, including whether the online fund raisers have promoted themselves publicly, whether the accumulated number of equity holders has exceeded 200, and whether the raisers have collected private equity funds in the name of equity-based crowdfunding, Deng said.

Some institutions are operating in the name of “equity-based crowdfunding,” which are actually non-public equity financing or private equity funds raising, hence do not fall within the scope of equity-based crowdfunding activities allowed by the guidelines on promoting the healthy development of Internet finance unveiled easier in July, Deng said.

The CSRC has recently told governments at the provincial level to forbid institutions and individuals from illegally issue stocks under the guise of equity-based crowdfunding.

To support innovation and the healthy development of Internet finance, new policies were rolled out in July in guidelines by ten central government departments and industry regulators, including the People’s Bank of China (PBOC).

More regulation is needed to deal with Internet finance crime, and self-discipline is also required if the industry is to build a sound and honest environment for finance players.

“Internet finance could help small and micro enterprises with investment and fund raising, and also upgrade the quality and efficiency of financial services,” an official with the PBOC said during a press conference. Enditem
