(TWSE) said Thursday it is planning to invite Hong Kong-listed Taiwanese red-chip companies to issue Taiwan depositary receipts (TDRs) on the Taiwan stock exchange in a bid to expand natural resource stocks.The red-chip companies will include China National Offshore Oil Corporation and CNPC (Hong Kong) Limited, which trade in crude oil and oil exploration stocks, said TWSE Chairman Chi Schive.

Schive said the TWSE also plans to invite Hong Kong-listed H-share companies to issue TDRs. H-shares are shares of companies incorporated in mainland China and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
