The Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) is a stock exchange based in the city of Shenzhen, in the People's Republic of China. It is one of three stock exchanges operating independently in Mainland China, the others being the Beijing Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

History

On 1 December 1990, Shenzhen Stock Exchange was founded. As an idea adapted from the capitalist countries, it was politically controversial in China. In support of the stock exchange, Deng Xiaoping rhetorically asked, "Are securities and the stock markets good or bad? Do they entail dangers? Are they peculiar to capitalism? Can socialism make use of them?" Deng contended that China must try them out and reserve judgment, because if securities and the stock market went well, they could be expanded, and if not, they could be stopped.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Shenzhen Stock Exchange” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Shenzhen, Stock and Exchange provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q517750. VIAF identifies the subject as 144544574.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
