SHANGHAI: Dozens of China-listed companies announced plans on late Monday (Oct 16) to buy back shares or scrap plans of stock selling, following a slew of measures authorities took to boost a flagging stock market.

This follows more than a hundred Chinese companies committing to buybacks or withdrawing share sales in August after China imposed new rules as part of measures to shore up a sinking stock market as the country's post-COVID-19 recovery lost momentum.
