SHANGHAI -- China's answer to Nasdaq looks to loosen merger and acquisition rules, aiming to attract more stock market listings as the U.S. intensifies scrutiny on Chinese companies.

Hu Rixin, deputy director of the Shanghai Stock Exchange's Offering and Listing Center, said Sunday that the bourse is drafting rules to let the market play a bigger role, as current regulations hamper delisting.
