Topic 1: China's Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce and China Securities Regulatory Commission have released the guidelines which instructed the Big Four auditors to put a Chinese citizen at the top within three years. According to the guidelines, which took effect on May 2, the number of partners at Ernst & Young, KPMG, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and PricewaterhouseCoopers that have gained their qualification as a certified public accountant from overseas cannot be more than 40 percent and the figure can't exceed 20 percent by the end of 2017, according to the official micro blog of The Wall Street Journal's Chinese version.

WANGXIULINXIANMIN: What China should do is to develop a domestic accounting firm that has the qualifications to compete with those outstanding foreign rivals.

SHUMIC: Putting a Chinese citizen at the top within three years? How could it be possible?

Topic 2: Chinese enterprises are accelerating the pace at which they acquire well-known foreign luxury brands, a move that targets the burgeoning domestic market. A recent case is the acquisition of the Italian yacht manufacturer Ferretti Group by China's State-owned Shandong Heavy Industry Group Co. Along with the purchase comes the challenge of how a State-owned enterprise, which has no real expertise in the luxury industry, can maintain the allure of the luxury brand it has bought.

XINYUXUAN: In recent years, Chinese companies have made a number of acquisitions in the overseas markets, but very few have ended well. Many Chinese businessmen don't understand European corporate culture and have no idea how hard it is to deal with the labor unions.

JINWOWEIBOZHILI: This is a choice with vision.

LINGHOUSE: The question is whether the brand can continue to develop and innovate.
