Huarong and the Chung Nam Network
Webb-site can reveal another SFC investigation underway involving dealings in Pak Wing (8316). The manipulation of this GEM bubble reveals another connection between China Huarong (2799) and what we call the "Chung Nam Network". The more we scrutinise Huarong, the worse it looks. Will the State end up bailing out the bailer? (3-Oct-2018)

Censure of Mr Fu Jiwen, absent former ED of Huarong Int Fin (0993)
SEHK, 3-Apr-2018
He was an ED until 2-Sep-2015. Subsequently, he failed to respond to investigation enquiries by the Listing Department of the Stock Exchange. It's another demonstration that the Exchange is an ineffective regulator - it is a for-profit company without statutory investigative powers. The listing regulatory function should be moved to the SFC, which could then at least seek co-operation from its mainland counterpart.

This follows a complaint by Webb-site to SEHK. The firm held 9.95% of China Smarter Energy (1004), 4.49% of Huarong (0993) and 1.34% of Carnival (0996), as well as having sunk HK$340.8m into Joint Global Ltd, the newest unlisted hub in what we call the "Chung Nam Network". It provides no details of this significant investment, which in our view should have been announced when made. This was in fact a share swap of 56.8m shares of HEC Capital Ltd for the same number of shares of JG valued at $6 each.
