Hong Hao, a managing director and head of research at Bank of Communications International Holdings Co (BoCom International), has left the brokerage, a spokesperson for the firm told Reuters on Wednesday.
The departure of the Hong Kong-based Hong, one of the most prominent and outspoken China market analysts, comes just days after he was censored on social media platforms following a series of downbeat commentaries.
BoCom International is the securities unit of Bank of Communications Co, one of China's biggest state-owned banks.
