History

On November 11, 1999, China Huarong was incorporated in Beijing as China Huarong Asset Management Corporation (Chinese: 中国华融资产管理公司), which was one of the four asset management companies as approved by the State Council of the People's Republic of China. In 2000, China Huarong began acquiring Non-performing loan of RMB 407,696 million from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The company later became a limited company: China Huarong Asset Management Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 中国华融资产管理股份有限公司) in 2012.[2]

In August 2014, China Huarong introduced seven strategic investors, including Warburg Pincus, CITIC Securities International, Khazanah Nasional, China International Capital Corporation, COFCO Group, Fosun International and Goldman Sachs while the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China remained the majority controlling shareholder and China Life Insurance Group increased its shareholding.[3][4]

In October 2015, China Huarong raised HK$17.8 billion through an initial public offering (IPO), offering 5.77 billion new shares in Hong Kong.[5]

In April 2018, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the National Supervisory Commission launched an investigation into possible "serious violations of discipline and laws" of Lai Xiaomin,the Chairman of China Huarong Asset Management and the Party Chief of China Huarong's CCP Committee.[6] Lai was a member of Communist Party of China. As the Party Chief, he emphasized in 2015 that during the operation of China Huarong Asset Management, CCP Committee should play a central role, and party members should play an exemplary role.[7] On October 15, 2018, Lai Xiaomin was expelled from the CCP. On August 11, 2020, the No. 2 Intermediate People's Court of Tianjin opened a public hearing on the case of bribery, corruption, and bigamy of Lai Xiaomin. The indictment alleges that Lai Xiaomin accepted 1.788 billion yuan in bribes, and illegally occupied public funds 25.13 million Yuan.[8] In January 2021, Lai was found guilty of receiving 1.79 billion yuan ($277.3 million) in bribes and bigamy, and was sentenced to death.[9]
