SHANGHAI: China will show"zero tolerance" towards securities and accounting fraud and will step up a crackdown on major capital-markets crimes, financial regulators said after a meeting of the Financial Stability Development Committee.

The meeting on Sunday was chaired by Vice Premier Liu He, the Cabinet-equivalent State Council said in a statement.The regulators said they would toughen penalties and establish a crime-busting team with relevant agencies to strengthen cooperation. They would also deepen the reform of the market's delisting mechanism to weed out bad companies from the country's stock markets.
