Week in Review, August 26
Vendors St Modwen, which owned the site together with the French construction group Vinci, said on Monday it had completed a sale of the site after agreeing a deal with Wanda - but it then emerged that Wanda was no longer the buyer, following a last-minute switch. Regulators have warned against lending to the company, and have asked banks to probe their exposure to Wanda and three other aggressive Chinese groups.
