The Chinese stock market is not powerful enough to exert strong
influence on the world share market, said China's top economic
planner Ma Kai on Wednesday.
Ma, minister in charger of the National Development and Reform
Commission (NDRC), made the remarks on the sidelines of the ongoing
annual session of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's top
legislature.
"The recent fluctuation of the Chinese stock market should not
be blamed for a major cause of the ups and downs of stock markets
in other countries. They should have checked their own problems,"
Ma told a press conference.
