Personal update: I’ve relocated to London and will be writing more about the region for @Breakingviews, with an interest in European energy, property and the crossover w/ China. Here’s my first take on Blackstone’s latest headache, as cracks show in the commercial property market
Reuters Breakingviews@Breakingviews

Steve Schwarzman's firm defaulted on a 297 million euro securitised loan backed by Nordic offices, after failing to win support from bondholders. More messy workouts are likely as troubled deals come due, writes @ywchen1 bit.ly/3ZVglZ3

Hong Kong has been absent from the travel itinerary of Wall Street bosses for nearly three years. As Singapore steals its limelight, the city is facing more pressure to show it’s open for business. My latest

On @Breakingviews: Hong Kong's central bank chief is luring global financiers to the city's November confab, but they're unlikely to agree without quarantine waivers. That risks local ire. But to stay relevant, Hong Kong has little choice, says @ywchen1 reut.rs/3cNGAxX

Reading the prospectus of AMTD, the mysterious co that had at its peak soared 36,400% over its U.S. IPO price before coming crashing down, and this mission statement cracks me up. “Fusion reactor”, what a strange euphemism for saying “hey we are power/financial brokers”

SCMP: When asked what the family’s response was, Pelosi’s grandson Paul Vos said in an email: “Am I supposed to be scared? What are they going to do? Cancel my TikTok? For the record, I am not even on TikTok!” scmp.com/news/china/pol…

The Personal Information Protection Law only became effective nine months ago, and it is surprising that the law seems to be retroactively applied to penalize Didi for its business practices in the past seven years.

DiDi was just fined USD1.2 billion for violating Chinese data security and personal information law. What is striking about this case is that probe originated with cyber security review last summer, but the penalty focuses more on the violation of personal privacy.

@doumenzi heard (but not yet verified) that "leasing services" is in fact largely referring to real estate, too. I've always wondered what that means

Of China's 42 listed banks, only 3 report more than 20% exposure to real estate (Guiyang and two banks in Qingdao). I'm guessing these guys are just clueless enough to report it.

Authorities in Henan finally agreed to cover customer deposits that were frozen in April after getting caught in a possible fraud. It’s a cautionary tale for China’s 1,600-odd village banks that receive insufficient regulatory oversight, writes @ywchen1: reut.rs/3yYwbrk

July is going to be a tough month for Chinese developers and their investors. Little surprise that Shanghai-based Shimao, once with good standing, missed repayments on $1 bln offshore bond this past weekend

From @Breakingviews: China Vanke reckons parts of the Chinese housing market are recovering. But weaker rivals are struggling and a rebound requires access to borrowing markets where investors remain skeptical, say @ywchen1 and @JennHughes13 reut.rs/3Nw2txZ
