	abstract = {This paper explores how three different actors{\textemdash}retail investors, investment enterprises, and the Chinese government and its regulatory agencies{\textemdash}engage with one another through their participation with the Chinese stock exchanges. From the outside, the Chinese stock exchanges do not appear to be well functioning mechanisms; insider trading is rife, companies do not publish accurate financial data, and many retail investors use the exchanges as a vehicle to gamble their money. This thesis will investigate how the different actors rationalize participating in the stock exchanges through an adapted cost-benefit analysis, and consequently hold the system together.  },
