Members,
Complex and volatile economic and financial situations in China and abroad are adding uncertainty to market. Members should remind investors to be prudent in judging market information and to be rational with investment decisions to maintain a smoothly running market.
Translating the translation:

And just in case you missed it, "after arresting hundreds of stock traders, China cracks down on "malicious" metals sellers next [11]."
Coming to every banana republic near you, where only prices matter to central planners.
