Core Viewpoint - The recent investigation by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) into Jinsong New Materials highlights a significant trust crisis for the company, stemming from long-standing operational issues, including continuous losses, high customer concentration, and industry challenges [1].

Group 2: Governance Issues - The CSRC's investigation reveals deep governance issues within the company, particularly the concentrated ownership structure, with the controlling family holding 23.11% of voting rights, raising concerns about internal control failures [3]. - The lack of transparency regarding specific violations and the frequent "normal operations" announcements amid ongoing losses have led to market skepticism about the company's financial health [3]. - Following the investigation announcement, the company's stock experienced a single-day volatility exceeding 16%, indicating a loss of investor confidence and increased financing difficulties [3].
