Twu_qinghe environmental requirements for listing on the New Third Board are based on Article 2 Paragraph 2 of the Basic Standard Guidelines for Applying to List on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations System (for Trial Implementation) (hereafter the “Guidelines”).

《xia_dongxia中国证券监督管理委员会行政处罚听证规则（2015）》（中国证券监督管理委员会令第119号，以下简称听证新规则）已经正式公布，并将于2015年12月4日施行。该部听证新规则，对目前施行的《中国证券监督管理委员会行政处罚听证规则》（证监法律字[2007]8号，以下简称现行听证规则）进行了修订和完善。该听证规则的修订，对于中国证监会在查处违法案件的过程中全面查清案件事实，依法行政，以及行政处罚相对方依法申辩，维护自身合法权益，无疑均将起到十分重要的作用。
