Registration-based IPOs in China
The first batch of 10 shares under China's registration-based initial public offering (IPO) system started trading Monday on the main boards of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.
The move signifies that China has applied the registration-based IPO system across the board, providing solid institutional support for accelerating the building of a standardized, transparent, open, dynamic and resilient capital market.
At a ceremony celebrating the listing Monday, Yi Huiman, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said it represents "another landmark of reform and development in China's capital market."
The 10 stocks all advanced in Monday's trading. Shenzhen CECport Technologies, an electronic component service provider, surged by 221.55 percent, while Dencare (Chongqing) Oral Care gained 173.89 percent.
The registration-based IPO reform, initiated in 2018, was first adopted by the science and technology innovation board in 2019, and was broadened to the start-up board ChiNext in 2020 and the Beijing Stock Exchange in 2021. ■

AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
