Chinese Real Estate Developers defaulting left and right this week, Evergrande is closing on its own official default and yet Chinese Stocks are rallying.

As starters, you need to read books, not articles. Articles are just for updates for more intermediate investors. 

Try Google "good books on investing"

I have a PDF version of "The little book of Common Sense Investing", can't share here though (PM might work?)

If you want a hardcore style introduction, which I think a newbie should take up, a university-style finance textbook works the best.

The HK market is more volatile than our Bursa Malaysia.

Macam true cz China trade waR and its own policy?

Beware of geopolitics of it as it might failed FIRB 

If the deal is sealed, Singapore Govt will laughing as not many will be offering that price

Really prime location if have the money to invest 

Link ok lah. Not predominantly chinese capital. It is a HK "pure-play" old economy counter.

Don’t discount it because it is Liberal playbook for next year election

Property prices high on the agenda especially a lot of seats Liberals held in NSW will be swing easily if Labor knows how the play game 

Don’t forget ACCC might have say in these after what happened with Sydney Airport acquisition recently 

lol HK property price high has nothing to do with this acquisition lah 

From what I see, this is purely commercial decision, to diversify their asset base in other markets. I doubt they will have much hurdles, last year or 2 years ago they bought 100 market street in Australia, no hurdles I recall.

Nothing even to do with HK but Sydney properties price in the 1st place 

100 market street is not heritage while QVB is heritage listed which further scrutiny is will be expected particularly FIRB review and ACCC 

2 years ago China sentiments and now has change with certainty foreign entities are frowned upon 

Oh you are referring to Sydney ok ok. Misread it earlier. Sorry.

Chinese relationship with Australia has gone through ups and downs in the past, not just recently. I still feel Link has a chance, if you are predominantly mainland chinese capital then you will have more issues meddling with the Australian regulators. I shared a link earlier, its capital base mostly foreign institutions. Anyway, will see.
