Chinese SOEs Took Over Two More Assets of China Evergrande Group

According to corporate registry records, at least tow more developments of China Evergrande Group have been taken over by state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

The development came as the developer struggling to complete projects amid massive stockpile of debt.

Evergrande on January 26 transferred its control over a theme park called Evergrande Fairyland in the Nansha district of Guangzhou to Minmetals International Trust Co, according to the records.

Separately, on Feb. 11 Evergrande withdrew its stake in a residential development in Dongguan in Guangdong province, which is now under the control of China Everbright Group.

Minmetals Trust last month bought the equity in two projects from Evergrande for a total of 80 million yuan ($12.67 million), in a rare case where a trust company took over assets from a distressed developer.
