Experts expressed optimism towards China's capital market as the country opens the market to global investors more and more in recent years.

China has been accelerating in opening up its financial market to overseas investment, with B-share, systems of Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII) and Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (RQFII), Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, and Shanghai-London Stock Connect came into being.

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) Tuesday announced it would abolish the investment quota restrictions for QFII and RQFII to boost financial reforms and opening-up.

Ted Niggli, head of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Index Business in Asia Pacific, has been in China for seven years. MSCI set up its office in China as early as 2004.

He said there are three reasons for China to become an attractive investment destination for global investors.

"The investors being interested, the regulatory framework enhancing at a fast pace and the companies themselves changing, these are three important catalysts for us to believe that over time, China will be a strong destination of investments from investors around the world," said Niggli.

With MSCI, FTSE Russell, Standard and Poor's and Dow Jones entering the Chinese market and increasing the weight of the yuan-denominated A-shares in their indexes, the Chinese capital market is connecting closely with the global market.

Qian Jun, dean of Fanhai International School of Finance with Fudan University, said overseas investors will boost the healthy development of the stock market.

"Overseas institutional investors, particularly long-term institutional investors, follow the so-called rational value investment most. Their acts will promote the stock market to develop more healthily," said Qian.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission published 12 important goals of deepening the reform of the capital market on Tuesday, showing that China is speeding up in reforming its capital market in the future.

Zhang Wangjun, deputy director of the Marketing Department of the Commission, said they will take concrete actions to push forward the reform.

"We will pay attention to the general goal of forging a normative, transparent, open, vigorous and resilient capital market and take concrete actions to implement financial supply-side structural reform to better serve the overall situation of high-quality development of the economy," said Zhang.

Experts optimistic about China's capital market

Typhoon Nida swept through Hong Kong on Tuesday, shutting down most of the financial hub with gale-force winds and disrupting hundreds of flights, while low-lying areas were put on flood alert.&nbsp; 
 
Hong Kong&#39;s first major typhoon this year brought gusts of more than 100 kilo metres per hour after earlier making landfall in China&#39;s Guangdong province and prompted the observatory to issue an amber warning, signifying heavy rain, at 5.20 am Hong Kong time (2120 GMT).&nbsp; 
 
More than 150 flights were cancelled, the Airport Authority said, with Cathay Pacific and Dragonair warning none of their flights would be operating until 2 pm (0600 GMT) at the earliest.&nbsp; 
 
Hundreds of passengers were stranded at the airport and 290 flights delayed.&nbsp; 
 
Nida was moving gradually to the inland areas of Guangdong and winds near its centre had showed signs of weakening, according to the Hong Kong Observatory.&nbsp; 
 
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) announced that the morning trading in its securities market, including Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect trading, and derivatives market has been delayed due to the issuance of Typhoon Signal Number 8.&nbsp; 
 
The morning trading session at the Hong Kong stock exchange will be suspended if the typhoon signal remains at 8 or higher at 9 am local time (0100 GMT).&nbsp; 
 
The stock market will be shut for the rest of the day if a typhoon signal 8 is still in place by noon.&nbsp; 
 
Streets were largely deserted and shops shuttered since Monday evening when the typhoon signal 8 was hoisted, prompting many people to leave work early.&nbsp; 
 
Across the border, Guangdong province closed offices, factories and schools on Monday as it braced for Nida.&nbsp; 
 
Last month, Typhoon Nepartak drove at least 420,000 Chinese from their homes and caused more than 7.1 billion yuan ($1.1 billion) in losses in Fujian province alone.&nbsp;
