China's stock market regulator tells HFTs to shove it

OK, maybe that's a bit overstated ... they're asking the public to tell HFTs to shove it:

• China Securities Regulator Commission is seeking public opinion on limiting the use of automated trading programs in the stock market
• CSRC says automated trading systems could fuel market volatility and affect fairness
• Plans to tighten access and also to review the mechanisms behind automated trading systems
• Would authorize stock exchanges to levy extra charges on such automated systems
