  • 2026-11-08 · Edited before publication: House style puts USD first with the original currency in brackets. The share price had no USD conversion. Limit-down was hit intraday. CNY used to match the supplied rates.
  • 2026-11-08 · Edited before publication: 'Hit the daily limit' is ambiguous; source says the shares fell by the daily limit intraday. Materiality lowered from 4 to 3: Shanying is a followed company, not a core one, and the probe concerns the chairman personally. Conversions checked and correct.
