The case has been closely watched by the trading community on the mainland, as it was going to show Chinese authorities’ stance on high-frequency trading. Yishidun, also known as Eastern Dragon, said that it was one of a number of foreign-owned firms that China probed after the $5 trillion market crash in 2015.
