CLSA has been forced to scale back its flagship Tokyo investor forum because of the sensitivities of its state-backed Chinese parent.
中信里昂证券(CLSA)被迫将其旗舰东京投资者论坛降格，原因是其中国母公司为国资背景，在此事上有些敏感。
The institutional broker and investment group has held the event annually since the early 2000s but it will not be taking place in Tokyo this year in its usual form, say people familiar with the matter.
这家券商兼投资集团自2000年代初以来每年都会举办该活动，但据知情人士说，今年的东京活动将跟往年的情形不一样。
CLSA, which is owned by Citic Securities, China’s largest investment bank, has been forced to make the decision, according to the people, due to a diplomatic spat between Beijing and Tokyo which has escalated since last year.
知情人士称，由中国最大投资银行中信证券(Citic Securities)控股的中信里昂之所以被迫做出这一决定，是因为中日政府之间自去年以来不断升级的外交争端。
