Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Regulation of Foreign Mergers and Acquisitions Involving Listed Companies in the People's Republic of China Submitted by ZHANG Lusong for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in June 2006 Due to its advantages in enabling transnational corporations (TNCs) to make full use of existing domestic productive forces and markets and thus being conducive to cost-savings in entering a host country, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are often preferred by TNCs in pursuing investment in a foreign market worldwide. However, China's foreign M&A market does not flourish despite its high level of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. For a variety of reasons, China should promote the growth of its foreign M&A market. In fact, foreign M&A involving listed companies is increasing in China due to the potential of its domestic market and its desire to integrate itself into the global economy (evidenced recently by China's accession to the WTO). In this situation, the regulation of foreign M&A involving listed companies is an increasingly important consideration in the country. To appropriately encourage and support foreign M&A, China needs to improve its legal environment. In order to do so, certain policy questions must be addressed first. The writer argues that for a socialist country that practiced a centrally planned economy for several decades and that has determined to develop a market economy, in which M&A is a typical business activity, the Chinese government must in the first place separate its two roles of regulator and representative of state ownership due to the fact that the state is the largest shareholder in the majority of listed companies. In other words, the government should avoid utilizing its administrative power in exercising shareholder rights in enterprises. China should further diversify the mode of exercise of state ownership and reduce its control over competitive industries. At the same time, the state should refrain from unnecessary intervention in the market and make every effort to support and encourage the due function of market mechanisms. Moreover, China needs to change its FDI policy from adopting both favorable treatment and strict controls to national treatment of foreign investors in the context of M&A. In improving its legal system for foreign M&A on the basis of the above policy adjustments, China needs to pay special attention to four aspects: state assets administration, antitrust regulation, enhancement of corporate and securities regimes, and foreign investment control. When doing so, China should base the legal system upon its own social and economic characteristics and at the same time learn from other jurisdictions' experiences.

Download or read book MERGER AND INTEGRATION OF COMMERCIAL BANKS INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR CHINA written by Xiaojian Ren and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) of commercial banks have been at a climax throughout the world, and the mode of M&A has been accepted by western countries, bringing new opportunities for the development of the banking industry. In a majority of the countries of the world, the banking industry is involved in a wave of economic M&A. Developed countries, such as the United States and those in Europe, have made significant gains through mergers and reorganizations of commercial banks, whetting the appetite of many developing countries' commercial banks to become involved in such activities.In the 21st century, through the development of the world economy and the bank and its special position in this economy, its development model has attracted significant attention. Banks will struggle to maintain their profits as the global economy slows and credit risks increase. China's interest rate liberalization is a major challenge that commercial banks are faced with, including the arduous task of smoothly adapting to the change. The banking industry contains countless bodies, and the business scope is homogenized. Moreover, fierce market competition constantly increases the management pressure in the banking industry. M&A activities have become the strategic choice of many banks. With the widening and deepening of the opening-up and competition degree of China's financial market, domestic banks are continuously penetrated by foreign capital and are facing great challenges, and the inherent desire of M&A is constantly presented. Compared with European and American commercial banks, the commercial banks in China are in a special situation: weak market competition, too much government intervention, more M&A aimed at preventing regional financial risks, and fewer M&A cases due to the requirements and motivations of commercial banks in the M&A activities. The growth mode of commercial banks includes an endogenous growth model of self-accumulation and a leapfrog growth mode of equity acquisition. Until now, western commercial banks have experienced five waves of M&A activity. The development and expansion of internationally active banks are usually inseparable from equity M&A. M&A activities have become important to international commercial banks seeking to realize leapfrog growth. After reforming, listing, and expanding its capital strength, China's commercial banking industry is actively attempting to realize leapfrog growth through equity M&A. These banks are also gradually transitioning from an endogenous growth mode relying on internal accumulation to a growth mode valuing both endogenous growth and leapfrog development through and external M&A activities. This paper summarizes the rules of the development and expansion of foreign commercial banks through strategic M&A activity by using a systematic analysis of the five waves of international commercial banks' M&A activity. This paper then puts forward the strategies of China's commercial banks as related to strategic M&A activities. Taking the acquisition of Shenzhen Development Bank (hereinafter referred to as SDB) by Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China (hereinafter referred to as "Ping An Group" or "Ping An") as an example, this paper summarizes the background, motivation and process of the M&A of both parties, and focuses on the analysis of synergies after the M&A. Through analysis, this paper finds that all indicators of the two companies have obvious synergies, and Ping An Group, the leading party, has been significantly improved in terms of operation, finance, corporate culture and management after merger and reorganization. To study the efficiency of M&A, this paper takes M&A of Wing Lung Bank by China Merchants Bank's as a case, and draws a conclusion and summarizes the suggestions of Chinese banks to improve the efficiency of merger and acquisition through empirical analysis, case study and other methods. Based on Ping An Group's acquisition of SDB, this paper puts forward recommendations for the merger activity undertaken by China's commercial banks at the end of the paper. These recommendations consider future M&A trends in China's banking industry, the strategic choice related to future M&A activities, and the role of the government in mergers and reorganizations, particularly related to relevant policy formulations, regulatory coordination, the role that control plays, and so on. The objective of this paper is twofold. First, this paper analyzes the current competitive pattern of China's commercial banking industry and at the same time studies the development process and M&A history of the American and overseas banking industry to demonstrate the M&A opportunities in China's commercial banking industry. Second, this paper uses a case study to discuss the M&A strategy, synergistic effects, and M&A efficiency of Chinese commercial banks. Key Words: M&A strategy, Synergistic effect, M&A performance.

Download or read book The Role of State Owned Enterprises in Chinese Cross Border Mergers Acquisitions written by Kim Bui and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) by Chinese enterprises have played a crucial role in China's expansion in the global economy. Thanks to the impressive internationalization of Chinese enterprises, China has become a major player in the world's cross-border M&A market. Although there has been a growing body of research investigating the motivations for Chinese cross-border M&A, most studies have overlooked the China-specific mechanism of cross-border M&As undertaken by its state-owned enterprises (SOEs). This thesis aims to fill this important gap. Building on a political economy analysis, descriptive data exploration, and in-depth elite interviews with an emphasis on the institutional perspective, this thesis contributes to existing research by providing a new framework for conceptualizing the role of the informal and formal institutions in shaping the specific features of Chinese SOEs' cross-border M&As. This thesis reveals a number of important findings. First, the political economy analysis highlights the concept of national rejuvenation as the key element of China's informal institution. This informal objective has been formally institutionalized and can be observed through national policies and regulation. Second, the descriptive data analysis shows evidence of the directive from the state on the regional and industrial distribution of cross-border M&As by Chinese SOEs. Third, the in-depth interviews with China M&A experts confirm the top-down command where the objective of national rejuvenation is to be pursued by SOEs and SOE managers through cross-border M&As. The informal objective of national rejuvenation has been institutionalized, and through formal control mechanisms the state ensures that the objective of national rejuvenation is collectively shared among the state, SOEs, and SOE managers. The policy implications derived from this research reveal, the state implemented systems to regulate cross-border M&A activities that SOEs and SOE managers are expected to closely follow can be simplified to increase efficiency. The number of bureaucratic formalities can be reduced, as well as streamlining the M&A process, and delegating greater autonomy to SOEs and SOE managers.

Download or read book Chinese Acquisitions in Developed Countries written by Alessandra Vecchi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses Chinese acquisitions in developed countries, evaluates the drivers and opportunities and, above all, explores the major operational challenges. It discusses topics such as cross-cultural issues, integration strategies, risk and resilience, the influence of emerging technologies, servitization, impacts on reshoring, corporate social responsibility, branding strategies, knowledge management, and transfer of best practices. While emerging market multinational corporations’ (EMNCs) use of mergers and acquisitions as a strategic vehicle has received considerable attention, much less is known about their post-entry activities, such as the implementation of post-acquisition and integration strategies. It can be expected that, compared with their Western counterparts, EMNCs will face radically different challenges that may undermine the success of their products, brands and marketing. Addressing these issues by means of a case study approach, this book is an ideal teaching resource for a variety of courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. It also appeals to academics, researchers, and practitioners with a keen interest in manufacturing industry.

Download or read book China Goes Global written by David Shambaugh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most global citizens are well aware of the explosive growth of the Chinese economy. Indeed, China has famously become the "workshop of the world." Yet, while China watchers have shed much light on the country's internal dynamics--China's politics, its vast social changes, and its economic development--few have focused on how this increasingly powerful nation has become more active and assertive throughout the world. In China Goes Global, eminent China scholar David Shambaugh delivers the book that many have been waiting for--a sweeping account of China's growing prominence on the international stage. Thirty years ago, China's role in global affairs beyond its immediate East Asian periphery was decidedly minor and it had little geostrategic power. Today however, China's expanding economic power has allowed it to extend its reach virtually everywhere--from mineral mines in Africa, to currency markets in the West, to oilfields in the Middle East, to agribusiness in Latin America, to the factories of East Asia. Shambaugh offers an enlightening look into the manifestations of China's global presence: its extensive commercial footprint, its growing military power, its increasing cultural influence or "soft power," its diplomatic activity, and its new prominence in global governance institutions. But Shambaugh is no alarmist. In this balanced and well-researched volume, he argues that China's global presence is more broad than deep and that China still lacks the influence befitting a major world power--what he terms a "partial power." He draws on his decades of China-watching and his deep knowledge of the subject, and exploits a wide variety of previously untapped sources, to shed valuable light on China's current and future roles in world affairs.

Download or read book Is China Buying the World written by Peter Nolan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China has become the world's second biggest economy and its largest exporter. It possesses the world's largest foreign exchange reserves and has 29 companies in the FT 500 list of the world's largest companies. ‘China's Rise' preoccupies the global media, which regularly carry articles suggesting that it is using its financial resources to ‘buy the world'. Is there any truth to this idea? Or is this just scaremongering by Western commentators who have little interest in a balanced presentation of China's role in the global political economy? In this short book Peter Nolan - one of the leading international experts on China and the global economy - probes behind the media rhetoric and shows that the idea that China is buying the world is a myth. Since the 1970s the global business revolution has resulted in an unprecedented degree of industrial concentration. Giant firms from high income countries with leading technologies and brands have greatly increased their investments in developing countries, with China at the forefront. Multinational companies account for over two-thirds of China's high technology output and over ninety percent of its high technology exports. Global firms are deep inside the Chinese business system and are pressing China hard to be permitted to increase their presence without restraints. By contrast, Chinese firms have a negligible presence in the high-income countries - in other words, we are ‘inside them' but they are not yet ‘inside us'. China's 70-odd ‘national champion' firms are protected by the government through state ownership and other support measures. They are in industries such as banking, metals, mining, oil, power, construction, transport, and telecommunications, which tend to make use of high technology products rather than produce these products themselves. Their growth has been based on the rapidly growing home market. China has been unsuccessful so far in its efforts to nurture a group of globally competitive firms with leading global technologies and brands. Whether it will be successful in the future is an open question. This balanced analysis replaces rhetoric with evidence and argument. It provides a much-needed perspective on current debates about China's growing power and it will contribute to a constructive dialogue between China and the West.

Download or read book After Globalization written by Robert K. Schaeffer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s, U.S. officials adopted tax and monetary policies that channeled huge new resources into Wall Street, which fueled a stock market boom. To increase profits and payouts to investors as stock prices soared, corporate managers consolidated businesses, outsourced manufacturing to low-wage countries, and adopted new technologies to increase productivity. Government officials then facilitated mergers and negotiated free trade agreements to speed the process of globalization. Wall Street became an engine of capital accumulation and a force for global change. These developments resulted in massive job losses and stagnant wages for most Americans. Meanwhile, tax cuts and the stock market boom created vast new wealth for the rich, and the top 10 percent seized 50 percent of all income in the United States. The result was growing economic inequality. During the decades that followed, globalization triggered regional economic crises, toppled governments, transformed societies, galvanized economic development in China, and created new forms of wealth and inequality around the world. Then in 2008, a financial crisis rooted in Wall Street triggered the Great Recession, wrecked the legitimacy of globalization as a development strategy, and unleashed populist or "restrictionist" social movements and political parties that challenged globalization and attacked its economic and political foundations. This book examines the origins of globalization in the 1980s, the developments that triggered the Great Recession, and the political and economic forces that contributed to the disintegration of globalization as a force for change in the modern world. After Globalization explains what happened—and what comes next.

Download or read book China s Growing Role in World Trade written by Robert C. Feenstra and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In less than three decades, China has grown from playing a negligible role in international trade to being one of the world's largest exporters, a substantial importer of raw materials, intermediate outputs, and other goods, and both a recipient and source of foreign investment. Not surprisingly, China's economic dynamism has generated considerable attention and concern in the United States and beyond. While some analysts have warned of the potential pitfalls of China's rise—the loss of jobs, for example—others have highlighted the benefits of new market and investment opportunities for US firms. Bringing together an expert group of contributors, China's Growing Role in World Trade undertakes an empirical investigation of the effects of China's new status. The essays collected here provide detailed analyses of the microstructure of trade, the macroeconomic implications, sector-level issues, and foreign direct investment. This volume's careful examination of micro data in light of established economic theories clarifies a number of misconceptions, disproves some conventional wisdom, and documents data patterns that enhance our understanding of China's trade and what it may mean to the rest of the world.
