The number of cargo trains passing through the port has risen from an average of two in March to seven at present, despite the COVID-19 prevention and control measures, due to the steady work and production resumption.

Ant Group submits documents for IPO

Ant Group has submitted documents to the securities regulator in Shanghai for its initial public offering, the city's bourse said on Tuesday. This marks the latest development since the Shanghai Stock Exchange last week approved the listing plan, which some expect to be the world's largest IPO. It took less than a month for the company to get an IPO application, clear inquiries, get necessary approvals and file listing documents. The financial technology firm plans to list simultaneously on Shanghai's Nasdaq-style STAR Market and in Hong Kong.
