    U.S. State Department: Hong Kong at Level 2 'Exercise Increased Caution'

    Fosun Files for Club Med IPO in Hong Kong

    Club Med Lifestyle Group, controlled by China's Fosun International, has filed for a Hong Kong IPO to spin off the iconic all-inclusive resort brand into a publicly traded company while Fosun retains control.

Proceeds would fund expansion toward ~85 resorts by 2030, including asset-light 'cultural tourism com…

Those who criticize authorities may face arrest, detention, expulsion, or prosecution.
