Li Ka-shing still hasn't given up. The response from the State Administration for Market Regulation has arrived. In response to the news that the sale of Hutchison Port Holdings' overseas ports will be split into two transactions to proceed, the State Administration for Market Regulation clearly stated: The parties involved in Hutchison Port Holdings' transaction must not take any measures to evade antitrust review!
This message shows that first, Hutchison is not honest and hopes to get through by using petty tricks to resist the state's antitrust review; second, the attitude of the state is becoming clearer, clearly blocking Hutchison's "back door," which is not a warning to the Li family?
In the matter of Hutchison selling overseas ports, I find it hard to understand how renowned figures like Academician He stand with American capital and Hutchison instead of standing on the side of national security and criticizing the antitrust review. Under the background where the U.S. has explicitly stated that it will use the port issue to strangle China, they can still say lies with their eyes open, describing this transaction as a market behavior of doing business.
