Reuters exclusively reported that China’s securities regulator has ordered some brokerages to inspect their bond trading activities as authorities seek to rein in frenzied buying of Chinese government bonds. The brokerages, all of which are domestic, have been told to conduct compliance checks on all parts of their bond trading operations.
