A series of regulatory changes is raising questions about the ability of foreign companies to compete effectively in China’s automotive sector in the coming years. The latest change – draft rules on batteries for electric vehicles (EV) released by the government on 22 November – has disrupted at least one foreign battery maker’s plans to invest in the sector in China.

My theory is that Uber failed in China not because its technology is not advanced. Rather, it failed because it entered a saturated market. As an app, Uber is new and great, but as a business model (matching people with cabs and car-pooling), this is an outdated concept in China. Hence, I’m not entirely surprised that the US company has failed to gain a foothold there.Here, I introduce a new mini-series about businesses, accounting, and investing practices within China experienced from the…

Who says nothing big ever happens in December?This past week we obtained, via legally questionable means, a trove of 2016 Christmas gift lists and related correspondence between a number of high-profile individuals and Santa Claus himself.

Equity Bottom-Up

Guangshen Railway Co Ltd H / Equity Bottom-Up

China's "Great Leap Forward" in railway expansion has created the world's largest high-speed railway network, but has also resulted in a hugely indebted Ministry of Railways. Low profitability and high interest and debt repayments, coupled with ongoing capital needs to meet China's ambitious high-speed rail expansion, are driving the railway sector into sorely needed reform.We think Guangshen Railway, as the first listed railway operator in China, and with more than 20 years in market-oriented railway operations, should have a material lead over other railway enterprises in benefiting from opportunities arising from the reform, including the injection of additional operating lines and more market-oriented fares that should boost its competitive advantages, earnings quality, and growth prospects.Analysts: Jennifer Song, Keith Schoonmaker &amp; Lorraine Tan
