China Unicom Hong Kong (762 HK) remains inexpensive with respect to parent China United Network A (600050 CH) - its hybrid domestic A-share twin - and to peers.
Preceding my comments on Unicom, are the current setup/unwind tables for Asia-Pacific Holdcos.
These relationships trade with a minimum liquidity of US$1mn, and a % market capitalisation &gt;20%.
