Abstract

In the past three decades, China’s banking sector has experienced rapid growth. This thesis examines the current regulatory framework in the light of public and private interests. The thesis focuses on the role of the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC). The CBRC, in acting in an apparently paternalistic manner, advances the interests of Chinese banks. In turn, Chinese banks implement policies of various levels of Chinese government. Foreign participation in China’s banking sector has been primarily controlled and managed to facilitate the development of Chinese banks. While the government apparently acts in the interest of the Chinese public in promoting economic and social development, its role in this regard is confounded by its desire to control the banking sector and by its interests in Chinese banks. The thesis argues that while the Chinese public in general has benefitted from the controlled development of the banking sector, ultimately it is a banking system that serves the interests of the government.
