Barito Pacific (BRPT IJ)'s 64.7% stake in Barito Renewables Energy (BREN IJ) (now Indonesia’s largest company by market cap), is worth 8x its market cap. That's unsustainable.
Preceding my comments on the Barito complex 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%.

Chinese Estates (127 HK)'s Scheme was always going to be a tricky affair, given Hong Kong's 2021 M&amp;A bloodbath - e.g.  Soho China (410 HK) &amp; Golden Throat (6896 HK).
95.95% of Disinterested Shareholders voted for the Scheme. However, the Scheme failed the "headcount test", as it was not approved by a majority in number of Scheme Shareholders. 
Hong Kong abolished the headcount test in March 2014. Cayman and Bermuda-incorporated companies should follow suit.

Since 2012, REF has been helping investors with market research, project due diligence, and strategy development. This has ranged from detailed assessments and estimates on distressed developers' project portfolios to market due diligence on specific projects to macro-level questions linked to demand for commodities. The unique combination of the housing markets and developer data from data partner China Index Academy in Beijing, primary research, and technology-powered alternative data collection from public sources result in a valuable content set used in REF analytics and reports.

China policymakers’ deleveraging pressures on property developers have been supplemented by recent common prosperity measures to ensure that “housing is for living and not for speculation”.
This has raised concerns of a major property developer bankruptcy and questions of whether China’s highly valued property market could finally see a housing bust.
Chinese authorities have huge economic and political incentives to ensure that deleveraging pressure is followed by support as property developers deleverage.
