标 题: A Chinese takeover of the Chicago Stock Exchange just got blocked
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Thu Feb 15 22:30:30 2018, 美东)
The top regulator for U.S. financial markets is barring a Chinese-led group
of investors from buying the Chicago Stock Exchange.
In a notice late Thursday, the Securities and Exchange Commission
highlighted various concerns, including whether the deal would allow it to
supervise the exchange properly.
The SEC said that during its review, it was unable to obtain all the
information it needed from the Chinese-led group of investors, including
details about how some of the entities involved in the deal were funded. The
regulator said this "raises significant doubts" that it would be able to
monitor the exchange if the deal went through.
The deal was first announced in February 2016, and had been in regulatory
limbo for two years.
The acquisition had previously been cleared by a U.S. panel that vets
foreign deals for potential national security concerns. The Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) said in December 2016 that
there were "no unresolved national security concerns" related to the
takeover.
The Chicago Stock Exchange did not immediately respond to a request for
comment Thursday.
The exchange, founded in 1882, handles a very small portion of U.S. trading.
But the takeover still came under fire from U.S. lawmakers, who worried
about the national security implications.
In a letter sent to the SEC chairman over the summer, 11 members of Congress
said they had concerns about the "severe lack of transparency in China,"
which would make it difficult for the committee for "prevent undue influence
or control over a national securities exchange."
The Chongqing Casin Enterprise Group, which spearheaded the acquisition, is
a holding company with interests in financial services, real estate and
environmental protection. | e****w
