BEIJING - China's foreign exchange regulator on Dec 10 published a list of companies and one individual involved in illegal foreign exchange deals, in an effort to tighten controls on "hot money" inflows.
The statement posted on the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) website was the second such disclosure after SAFE published the first list in November.

Fourteen companies based in eight provinces, including northeast China's Liaoning province and the eastern provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian, were named in the statement.
In one case, Shenzhen-based Yestock Information Technology (Shenzhen) Co Ltd and Shenzhen Chuangtou Electronic Information Technology Co Ltd, used a fake contract worth HK$10.65 million ($1.37 million) to send 9.9 million yuan into the stock market.
It also named a Chinese national surnamed Huang, who illegally received $1.75 million in November and December 2008, by using 18 outdated export cargo declarations.
Previously, the SAFE listed nine bank branches and outlets found to have been involved in illegal foreign exchange transactions.
By the end of October, China's foreign exchange regulator had uncovered 197 cases of illegal foreign exchange transactions worth $7.34 billion since its crackdown on "hot money" inflows was launched in February.
