Financial opening-up attracting global investors

BEIJING - China's latest opening-up measures in the financial sector have attracted more global investors to the country's high-quality growth.

Last week, Japan's largest securities trader Nomura became the first foreign player planning to set up a holding firm in China, after the nation eased market access to securities.

The company aims to hold a 51 percent stake in the new firm and submitted application materials on May 8 to China's top securities watchdog, the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
