Shanghai Chinese Security Exchange Co. was renamed Shanghai Securities Exchange Co. in 1946.

It is one of the three stock exchanges operating independently in the People’s Republic of China. The other two are the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. But the contrast to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is still not entirely open to foreign investors due to tight capital account controls exercised by the Chinese mainland authorities.
