In light of the pressing concerns surrounding mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in recent times, the question “What sort of ownership structure is more likely to be bought in bad faith (hostile takeover)?” is addressed in this study. The disparities in company structures and the prospect of hostile takeovers are the primary topics discussed in this article. The research applies a regression model to the analysis of a substantial number of domestic M&A cases and overseas M&A cases involving Chinese firms that have occurred within the past several years. It has been discovered that businesses that have a high equity dispersion, high equity liquidity, poor operational capability of the firm, small total equity, and no dual equity structure are more susceptible to being taken over by an adversary. The findings of this study are more reliable because, in addition to taking into account local firms listed on the A-share market, it also takes into account Chinese businesses that are listed on international markets. The findings of the study can assist owners in enhancing their management practices, optimizing their equity structures, and gaining experience in warding off hostile takeovers.
This article aims to explain China's recent new political and economic strategy. As it involves more than 140 nations, China's 2013 "Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI) has garnered attention and debate. This paper examines BRI's economic effects and motives using developing evidence and a literature review. We concluded that China proposed the BRI in 2013 for several reasons, including capital accumulation, infrastructure export, market access, imbalanced growth resolution, energy supply assurance, and border stability. China's activities may also be explained by modern ideas like the economics of scale, technical gap, overlapped demand, and product life cycle. The BRI was simpler to propose in 2013 since the global economy was weak and needed a boost for global trade. Several models are used to predict BRI's economic effects. Due of BRI's lack of grounding. In the real world, foreign voices are both supportive and apprehensive, indicating that the BRI will confront many challenges. Debt and COVID-19 are two major challenges. Yet, possibilities and obstacles frequently go together. In the near future, international collaboration on advanced technologies, green economies, education, and other areas is expected to increase.
