China’s securities regulator is considering stricter criteria for mainland companies listing in Hong Kong, amid concerns over deal quality following a surge in offshore fundraising, sources said.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) is discussing potential measures such as setting a minimum market capitalization for dual listings, though no final decision has been made.

One proposal suggests a threshold of 30 billion yuan (US$4.3 billion), which could exclude smaller firms from registering.

The move aims to support market stability and high-quality offshore issuers while curbing excessive speculation.
