Chinese Capital Flight

There is market speculation that B shares can no longer be used as a tool to hedge against the yuan," said Jackson Wong, associate director at Huarong International Securities Ltd. in Hong Kong. The State Administration of Taxation last week published rules requiring banks to perform due diligence on non-resident financial accounts from 2017.

“We saw some unknown institutions’ heavy selling around 2 p.m.,” said William Wong, Hong Kong-based head of sales trading at Shenwan Hongyuan Securities Ltd. “It is very likely that some overseas investors want to move money out” after the new rules.
