China’s securities regulator held an unscheduled meeting on the nation’s tumbling stock market without coming to a decision on policy action, according to a person familiar with the discussions.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission held an internal meeting to assess market conditions and the nation’s new circuit breakers after a selloff forced local exchanges to shut for the second day this week, the person said, declining to be named because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.
