Editor's note:

China will establish a committee under the State Council, the country's cabinet, to further improve regulation effectiveness, as well as safeguard financial stability and development.

The decision was announced during China's top financial meeting, the National Financial Work Conference, which was held on July 14 and 15. The decision was also in the midst of three tasks, including making the financial sector better to serve the real economy, containing financial risks and deepening financial reforms.

The financial work conference has been convened every five years since 1997 after the Asian financial crisis, and provides financial policy guidance, attracting much attention at home and abroad.

A few news clips from foreign media outlets about this issue have been listed below:

"While some details of what the policy guidance will mean for the next five years are not entirely clear, in the short term it looks as though Beijing will continue to push ahead with the deleveraging campaign, which began late last year."
