BEIJING -- China's Communist Party leadership on Friday decided to keep a closer watch on overseas stock market listings by domestic companies, part of an effort to block leaks of data from its vast tech sector.

The announcement emerged from a closely watched July meeting of the party's Politburo chaired by Chinese President Xi Jinping, when the 25-member body sets a direction for economic policy in the second half of the year.
