US rejects China-led bid for Chicago Stock Exchange

The US has rejected a proposed merger between the Chicago Stock Exchange and a Chinese-linked investor group. The decision comes after more than two years of reviews by officials.

The tie-up was initially approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, pending further approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). But US politicians, including President Trump, have said letting a Chinese firm invest in a US exchange was a bad idea.

Under the proposal, the Chinese-led North America Casin Holdings group would have bought CHX Holdings, which owns the Chicago Stock Exchange. The exchange, which handles just 0.5% of US stock trades, had said the deal would have provided the exchange with "vital capital". That funding would have been used "to boost numerous initiatives designed to benefit the city of Chicago, the US economy and market structure as a whole".

    Some decades ago I worked for a financial services company in telecommunications dept, this was a "big famous name", with something like quadruple redundant links to the NYSE, I don't remember CHX at all. None the less, here's a list:

    Not Who, sir. Hu. There is no way he is related to the time-traveling doctor.
