China Biz Roundup Podcast: Securities Watchdog Maps Out 2019 Work Plan

CORRECTIONS:

The first story on the Mar. 18 episode erroneously referred to the new Science and Technology Innovation Board as a high-tech stock exchange. It is a high-tech board.

The third story misstates the acronym for value-added tax. It is VAT, not VTA.

- China securities regulator sets out ambitious 2019 work plan.

- Shaanxi corruption official under investigation — for corruption.

- China became net importer of rare earths in 2018 for the first time since 1985.
