Chinese authorities will launch a campaign to regulate Internet finance, which is growing rapidly but threatens social stability due to illegal activities. Departments of political and legal work at all levels will work with banking regulatory authorities to establish a monitoring and warning system against financial risks and enhance information sharing among different regions and departments, according to a statement released at the central conference on political and legal work held in Beijing in January 2016.
Internet finance refers to loans, investments and other financial services through online channels rather than banks and other traditional financial institutions. Growing Internet finance industry has helped reduce trade costs and made investments easier. But Internet finance has also brought about danger, and risks have surged as more people have been discovered to be raising funds illegally. These crimes, involving many people and a large amount in assets, may cause social risks.

They will also educate the public on risks, according to the statement. Police are investigating the Beijing-based E-Zubao, a large online financial platform, and associated companies for suspected illegal activities.
