Message from the Chairman

in early 2002.
With barely a decade of history, China¡¯s capital market has built
itself from the ground up with becoming the focus of global capital
markets and playing an increasingly important role in the development
of China¡¯s economy. However, China¡¯s capital market is still in
its infancy, and is in a stage of rapid development and refinement.
China¡¯s accession to the WTO has accelerated the opening and internationalization
of China¡¯s capital market, with regulations and competitive structures
rapidly adopting to international norms. China¡¯s capital market
