Hong Kong
CHINA Evergrande Group, the country's largest property developer, boosted its holdings in rival China Vanke Co after drawing regulatory scrutiny over a string of purchases in listed companies.
The Guangzhou-based home builder bought 73.7 million of Vanke's mainland-traded A shares on Nov 10, bringing its total stake to 10.16 per cent of the stock, according to a filing to Hong Kong's stock exchange on Monday. Evergrande revealed last week that it bought 161.9 million Vanke A shares, lifting its holding to 9.4 per cent.
