Episode intro: Spring in Jiangnan, a classical Chinese handscroll donated to the Nanjing Museum in 1959 by one of China's most prominent collector families, suddenly showed up in an auction lot with an estimated value of 88 million yuan ($12.9 million), triggering public outcry over the mismanagement of treasured artifacts. In this episode of China Business Uncovered, host Kelsey Cheng speaks with Caixin investigative reporter Xiao Hui and Wang Qiusheng, founder of the Society for the Ancient Chinese Art to trace the handscroll's complicated journey: how it went from a prized donation to a work deemed fake, removed from the museum's collection and then sold into private hands before reappearing on the auction market last year. More importantly, the case offers a look at the development of China's art auction market, the systems governing the country's museums and how trust is built — or, in this case, broken — between collectors and public institutions.

Episode intro: Baolide Holdings Group, once one of East China's biggest luxury car dealers, collapsed in 2024 under the weight of a market downturn, high-interest private borrowing and alleged falsified accounts.

Episode intro: For years, Vanke was seen as one of the best-run developers in China's real estate sector. So, when liquidity pressure began to build around the company, it jolted the market.

More importantly, through Vanke, they explore the deeper reckoning underway in China's property market: the sector's biggest risks this year, what tools policymakers still have left, and why many in the industry believe a true market bottom remains elusive.

En el panorama empresarial actual, se examina la posible desinversión de Starbucks en China. Según informó el medio económico chino Caixin, la multinacional estadounidense estaría explorando opciones en el mercado para traspasar sus operaciones en el país asiático. Sin embargo, la propia compañía ha negado esta posibilidad. En un comunicado oficial, un representante de Starbucks afirmó que “actualmente no se está considerando una venta completa de las actividades en China". Aun así, los rumores no cesan y podrían intensificarse próximamente. Tal como señala Reuters, en mayo la empresa habría iniciado un proceso estructurado para evaluar el interés de potenciales compradores, a quienes les plantearon preguntas relacionadas con aspectos como la cultura empresarial, el estilo de liderazgo y las estrategias de sostenibilidad. No obstante, las fuentes subrayan que Starbucks aún no ha definido si desea conservar una participación mayoritaria o limitarse a una más reducida en el futuro. Esto coincide con declaraciones recientes de Brian Niccol a la cadena CNBC, donde aseguró que su intención es mantener una presencia duradera en el país. Niccol considera que Starbucks está desempeñando un papel importante en ese mercado. Sin embargo, la competencia local está ganando terreno rápidamente. Luckin Coffee lidera el sector con el 35% de participación, tras beneficiarse del retroceso de Starbucks, que en 2017 controlaba el 42% del mercado y hoy apenas alcanza el 17%. Otra competidora emergente es Cotti Coffee, que ya abarca el 12% de los puntos de venta. Juntas, estas tres marcas representan más del 50% de los locales cafeteros. Las pequeñas cadenas restantes, mejor adaptadas al gusto chino, completan el panorama. Según la consultora Kearney, estas apuestan más por el té y por un modelo ágil basado en el formato para llevar y el entorno digital. Starbucks entró a China en 1999, y desde entonces su trayectoria ha estado marcada por grandes desafíos.
