HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 2 December 2019 - China's 2005 reform of its dual-class share structure was said to have improved listed firms' corporate governance by allowing companies' founding shareholders to convert previously restricted stock into openly traded shares. Some academic studies suggested the changes better aligned the interests of large shareholders and public investors. However, a team of researchers, including Prof. Donghui Wu, Professor of School of Accountancy and Director of Centre for Institutions and Governance at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School, examined the problems created by the reform, which inadvertently led to a bonanza for large shareholders. "We wanted to look at the potential conflicts of interest arising from large sales of shareholders' previously restricted, non-tradable shares," says Prof. Wu.

The Train Street is formed by railway tracks running alongside Dien Bien Phu and Phung Hung streets in the heart of the Hanoi Old Quarter, with residential buildings just a few feet away on either side.
