China Vanke: Battle for Control (D)

In the battle for control over China Vanke, the Chinese securities regulator steps in to censure Vanke and Baoneng for acting against the interests of the market and minority shareholders. The Chinese insurance regulator also finds Baoneng to be in violation of insurance regulations, and subjects its insurance arm to severe restrictions on further sales of its products. A rival private property developer, China Evergrande, also joins the fray, buying enough shares to become Vanke's third largest shareholder. The case finally relays how the battle for control winds down and the eventual resolution.
