“‘This is insane,’ Chen Gang, chief investment officer at Shanghai Heqi Tongyi Asset  Management Co., said in an interview on Thursday. ‘We were forced to liquidate all our holdings this morning,’ said Chen, whose firm manages about 300 million yuan ($45.5 million).  Many private funds and hedge funds in China have agreements with investors spelling out mandatory liquidation levels if their holdings drop below a certain value. The CSRC capped the size of stakes that major investors are allowed to sell at 1 percent of a company’s shares for three months effective Jan. 9, the regulator said in a statement on Thursday. The restriction replaces an existing six-month ban that is due to expire Friday.”
