Guo Jianjun was aware of these issues and failed to fulfill his responsibilities, leading to their public reprimand [7]. - The disciplinary action will be reported to the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Beijing Local Financial Supervision Bureau, and will be recorded in the securities and futures market integrity database [7].
