The fate of the CFHI underscored that IPOs in China might no longer be seen as an easy way to make hefty quick money, as several new shares have fallen below their IPO prices with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index losing its psychologically-important 3,000 point on January 27.
Chinese shares opened lower on Tuesday with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index down 0.11 percent to 2,932.09 points.
