Deliberate collusion to conduct futures transactions with each other at a pre-agreed time, price and method, thereby affecting futures trading prices or futures trading volumes, may be deemed a violation of regulations. The act of blackmailing is expressly prohibited by laws, regulations and the self-regulatory rules of futures exchanges. Article 29 of the "Measures for Handling Violations of Shanghai Futures Exchange" stipulates that blackmailing and other means shall not be used to affect market prices, transfer funds or seek improper benefits. Among them, if the circumstances of affecting the price are serious, it can be deemed as a violation of the "Regulations on Futures Trading Administration" prohibiting manipulation of futures trading prices. If the circumstances of illegal profit-making are serious, it may violate the crimes of manipulation of the futures market and the crime of theft in the "Criminal Law".
