Trading suspension goes unexplained

Trading in China's first listed construction company, Zhejiang Guangsha Co, was suspended on Monday morning, the first day of trading of 2015, before the stock market opened.

Lou Zhongfu, founder of the Guangsha Group and honorary chairman of the board was reported to have been taken away by staff of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission on Dec 27.

Thepaper.cn has reported that Lou has a business relationship with Gu Liping, wife of senior Party official and national political adviser, Ling Jihua, who came under investigation for alleged disciplinary violations in December.
