Therefore, the development of the systems of the securities market is relatively far from perfect. The development of China's legal system, for a long time, emphasizes the criminal and administrative system while ignores the civil liability system.

Based on the above analysis, the author expounds the elements, the principle of attribution, the scope of compensation and exemptions of the civil liability of market manipulation one by one and put forward his own point of view.In the last part of this thesis, the author discusses the litigation mechanism of the civil liability for acts of market manipulation. It first gives a detailed analysis of the representative litigation mechanism of foreign countries, such as the group litigation of the United States and Germany, and the parties selected litigation system of Japan.
