China vowed to stabilize markets as shares fell to a five-year low in turbulent trading on Friday, but Chinese authorities provided no details on how they plan to stop a selloff that has wiped out more than $6 trillion in value and eroded confidence in the world's second-largest economy.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) stated on Sunday to prevent abnormal fluctuations while cracking down on unlawful activities such as malicious short selling and insider trading.
