Development raises hopes that Beijing's concerns over proposed deal could be eased
-
HONG KONG - China's largest shipping company is among the firms in talks to invest in a multinational consortium seeking to buy billionaire Li Ka-shing's global ports, according to people familiar with the matter, in an effort to ease Beijing's concerns over the controversial deal.
China Cosco Shipping is one of several Chinese state-backed companies in discussions with the consortium led by Italian billionaire Gianluigi Aponte's Terminal Investment on matters including how they might participate in the port deal, the people said.
The buying group also includes US firm BlackRock and its Global Infrastructure Partners unit.
The inclusion of Chinese investors in the consortium emerged as one of the options to advance the ports sale after high-stakes talks in Switzerland in May between Chinese and US officials, some of the people said.
