Abstract
It is undeniable that the bond market plays a key role in the social economy as a whole. Economic development and the state of the bond market often reflect the state of the country's financial markets. Bond markets in China have developed rapidly and have a large financing capacity. In recent years, however, the volatility of the bonds in China has gradually increased due to epidemics, policies and funds, etc. The bond market has undergone a drastic adjustment. This paper describes the current bond market situation in China, analyzes the problems, and proposes solutions for the market. The main problems are the credit risks in bond rating and the impact of political risks on bond market. This paper provides advice on credit risk from the perspective of creating a credit environment, improving data quality, and strengthening regulation. This study has a positive impact on China's bond market's development.
