China's securities regulator is suspending
a stock market circuit breaker mechanism after
heavy losses triggered an automatic shutdown
for the second time in just three days.
The Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges
say the change takes effect today.
The regulator says it hopes the move will
stabilize markets.
On Thursday,... the Chinese stock market was
only open for 25 minutes,... giving China
its shortest trading day in a quarter of a
century.
