China M&A a Bright Spot Amid Regional Decline (The Asset)

Asia-Pacific M&A deals amounted to US$302 billion in the first five months of this year for a 22% decline from a year ago. However, China still remained a bright spot with a 31% increase in M&A deals.

The Asset quoted Michael DeFranco, global head of M&A at Baker & McKenzie, as saying:

“Chinese investors were extremely active in Q1 as they looked beyond their own borders for growth opportunities, supported by government-led initiatives to diversify the economy. This was after a record year for Chinese investment into the US and EU in 2015.”
