Party journal says China can establish effective market stabilisation fund
'In a time of global economic instability with growing uncertainties, the establishment of a stabilisation fund can help maintain the stability of the capital market, protect the interests of small and medium-sized investors, and guard against systemic financial risks,' Study Times, the official publication of the Central Party School, the Party's top ideological training centre, said.
In the article, published on Wednesday, it added that China's increased regulatory capacity made it possible to ensure the effective performance of a stabilisation fund.
It said that establishing a stabilisation fund would help 'reduce irrationally high market volatility', adding that similar mechanisms had been widely tested by major economies in times of stock market panic, including the Hong Kong government's successful interventions to maintain market stability during the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
The aggressive trade tactics employed by America following US President Donald Trump's return to the White House in January – especially his 'Liberation Day' announcement of so-called reciprocal tariffs on America's trading partners on April 2 – have triggered tit-for-tat escalations, rattling global markets and threatening the viability of global supply chains.
Following face-to-face trade talks between Chinese and US officials in Switzerland over the weekend – the first such talks involving the new Trump administration – Beijing and Washington suspended most of the tariff increases introduced this year for 90 days from Wednesday. Negotiators are expected to conduct follow-up trade talks in the next few months.

Trump admin restricts foreign ownership of US farmland amid China tensions
The Trump administration is tightening its grip on foreign ownership of farmland amid continuing concerns over Chinese investment in America's heartland. Advertisement The US Department of Agriculture will work with state lawmakers to end farmland purchases 'by nationals for countries of concern or other foreign adversaries', according to a press event on Tuesday. The USDA is also partnering with the US Treasury Department's Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, to review foreign purchases involving the farming industry. US farms are 'under threat from criminals, from political adversaries and from hostile regimes that understand our way of life as a profound and existential threat to themselves', Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said at the event. Rollins said she is officially part of CFIUS as of Tuesday.
