Liu Shiyu, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, likened the boom in leveraged buyouts with the acts of “barbarians” and “thugs,” in a talk delivered on Saturday, Xinhua news agency reported. The usually low-profile watchdog went off script and targeted insurers, the report said. “Some with financial licenses enter the market, carrying out leveraged buyouts with funds from the public,” Liu said. “It is the mass investors who bear the risk.” Chen Wenhui, vice-chairman of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, said on sina.com that insurers were committing crimes when circumventing capital controls and had shortcomings when managing risks.

Fan Gang, a member of the monetary policy committee under the People’s Bank of China, said recent economic data showed corporate performance was stabilizing and economic growth would resume, with GDP expected of 6.5% to 7%, Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday.
