  Is employee ownership contributing to China's stock market rally?

This is the question posed by the National Center for Employee Ownership in its last edition.

As stocks on the Shanghai rose to a 20-month high, analysts cited China's ownership reforms as contributing to investor confidence.

As quoted in China Daily, Gao Ting, head of China strategy at UBS Securities, cited reforms by China Unicom, the country's second-largest mobile phone provider, which include a diversified board of directors and employee ownership. Investor sentiment was boosted by signs of accelerated ownership reforms at State-owned enterprises.
