Webb-site has deduced that these are assets of Mr Yang Zhihui, missing
Chairman and majority shareholder of Landing (0582), and that he is reasonably
suspected of fraud causing losses of HK$10.17bn to China Huarong (2799), the
ex-Chairman of which is under a corruption investigation in China. We also turn
the spotlight on China Goldjoy (1282) which was an enthusiastic buyer of Landing
at prices far higher than its Chairman paid beforehand. (1-Oct-2018)

HKEX: shoot patients to prevent illness
HKEX's proposal to suspend and then delist companies with disclaimed
audits works against investor interests in several ways while doing nothing to
address the root causes of corporate illness. In a partial revival of the 2002

business cannot be ignored. We again call for the regulatory function to be
transferred to the SFC and HKEX's monopoly to be abolished. Only when there is
competition can they pick and choose their customers. HKEX fails to name the 43
firms that would have been suspended on their 2017 audits. Answers by Tuesday
