There's little left in Sankei Real Estate (2972 JP) if Murakami-san is the sole blocker, as it gets done with him in the back end OR a big bump.

WH Group (288 HK) is trading around its highest implied stub, post Smithfield Foods (SFD US)'s spin-off. Forward growth drivers are more evident in Smithfield and Henan Shuanghui (000895 CH).
For CSRC to pushback on ENN Energy (2688 HK), it would need to clearly articulate, clear friction points surrounding the deal structure and/or systematic A-share market risks. Neither appears apparent.
