The Beijing government appears to have warmed significantly to a range of industries. In January 2022, China Cinda Asset Management scrapped a deal to buy 20% of the Ant consumer finance unit, which would have made it the second-biggest investor. The regulator has given Ant six months to complete the recapitalization. The chemicals company Transfar Zhilian (SZ:002010) is the other new investor, paying C¥926 million (US$135 million) for a 5% stake. The Hangzhou government would have close ties to the companies in question and, because Hangzhou officials are dealing with some of the city's largest employers, is about as friendly a face as Ant could find among the Chinese Communist Party ranks. [has issued a notice](http://www.cbirc.gov.cn/branch/chongqing/view/pages/common/ItemDetail.html?docId=1087590&itemId=1986) that its division in the western city of Chongqing has approved Chongqing Ant Consumer Finance's plan to raise its capital to C¥18.5 billion (US$2.7 billion), up from C¥8 billion (US$1.2 billion). They include Nanyang Commercial Bank, which focuses on lending to trading companies, which invested C¥1.2 billion (US$174 million) for what's now a 6.5% stake. The investment round will also see a company owned by the city of Hangzhou, where Ant and Alibaba are based, become the second-largest shareholder by taking a 10% stake. However, Reuters reported that, after the CBIRC gave the green light to Cinda's plan, officials higher up the chain of command stepped in to prevent the deal. For Ant to now win a nod from Beijing to raise capital indicates the company's political rehabilitation is well under way. The Ant IPO debacle, originally interpreted as a reflection of anger over Alibaba figurehead Jack Ma's outspoken speech at a Shanghai conference the previous month, marked only the beginning of what became an onslaught on the private sector and what the government deemed the "disorderly expansion of capital." This is Ant, after all, which in November 2020 had the world's largest initial public offering

Shanghai, Shenzhen, and STAR Board were mixed +0.22%, +0.06% and -0.77% on volume -0.3% from yesterday which is 85% of the 1-year average. Key observation is the rebound is occurring. Top sub-sectors were media, retailing, and software while energy and technical hardware were the only negative sectors. I point this out as the US is 61% of the MSCI All Country World Index (as of end of November) which is a very high weight after a strong decade of performance. Hang Seng and Hang Seng Tech gained +3.22% and +4.58% respectively on volume +24.02% from yesterday which is 119% of the 1-year average. Top sectors were real estate +6.4%, communication +5.04%, and discretionary +4.95% while energy was the only negative sector down-0.65%. Apple’s China ecosystem was weak in both Hong Kong with Sunny Optical HK -10.11% and in China with Luxshare Precision -9.99% as the company’s stock falls. Main Board short turnover increased +18.08% from yesterday which is 106% of the 1-year average as 15% of turnover was short turnover. Everything is about an equity rebound and which stocks to buy on the dip. Another positive that garnered attention in China more so than outside of China was from the Ministry of Finance’s Liu Kun who reiterated economic support through fiscal deficit and monetary support. Tesla’s poor performance also weighed on the China EV and clean tech sector as its stock slides. There was more than one catalyst today though Alibaba’s Ant Group being approved by the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) to raise RMB 18.5B ($2.7B) for their consumer finance unit is garnering significant attention.
