The present language makes it conceivable that the anti-monopoly law will be nothing more than a means to attempt to destroy large multinationals. As always, implementation is everything.

The anti-monopoly law was shaped in part by an attempted acquisition that died its final death this week. Equipment-maker Xugong reported that no stake whatsoever will be purchased by private investors Carlyle Group of the US. Carlyle had originally sought a majority of Xugong at which time the State Council discovered that construction was vital for economic security

Beijing also clearly displayed its willingness to use commercial tools for political reasons. It threatened ExxonMobil because the company held discussions with PetroVietnam over energy exploration in waters China has a very poor claim to.

This follows a similar action against BP last year. With oil under absolute state control, it¡¯s not clear why the global majors are bothered by the possible loss of market access.

Minor net FDI
East Asian services investors stirred the pot this week. Korea¡¯s Hana Financial will purchase a 19.7% stake in Bank of Jilin for $320m. Japanese leasing company Orix will contribute $40m to an equity fund established by the State Council¡¯s Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Singapore real estate firm Allgreen will pay up to $260m for 25% of a venture to acquire and develop residential sites in Hebei, with two Hong Kong partners. IBM sold $80m more of computer leader¡¯s Lenovo stock in Hong Kong, cutting its stake to 4.7%.
