What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

China is increasing scrutiny of publicly traded companies that plan to spin off units for separate listings in the mainland Chinese and Hong Kong stock markets. The securities regulator is seeking to discourage firms from spinning off their most profitable parts, arguing this could be unfair to parent company shareholders. Regulators also want to ensure that spun-off units operate in a different area than the parent to reduce business overlap and related-party transactions.
