The mysterious Chinese company worrying the world

Richard Janura

Bloomberg has taken the microscope to confusing Chinese behemoth HNA Group, owner or shareholder of – among many other things – Swissport, Suparna Airlines (formerly Yangtze River Express), Hong Kong Airlines, GE Seaco and Cronos, Frankfurt-Hahn and MyCargoAirlines.

Unfortunately, it has managed to raise concerns among a number of governments and has been, or remains, under scrutiny by the US, Switzerland, Germany, New Zealand and China. It has now slowed its acquisition spree and, according to Bloomberg, is now focusing on companies aligned with China’s One Belt, One Road plan.
