China Bohai Bank is seeking to dispose of $4 billion in bad loans as part of a strategy to shore up capital. The bank has proposed selling $3.5 billion worth of assets at a discount through a public tender to bidders, including national bad debt managers. Concurrently, China Fortune Land Development, a major Chinese real estate developer, is attempting to resolve its debt by working with a buyer to purchase bonds at deeply discounted prices, which it plans to cancel. This approach is outside of its restructuring agreements and involves private contracts with bondholders and a third party. The exact source of the funding for these maneuvers remains unclear.
