A spokesperson for Ping An said the company had not been approached by the government and denied the information reported by Reuters, which cited four sources familiar with the plan. "Such a move should mitigate or control the risks in the market," said Lu Wenxi, analyst at property agency Centaline. Elsewhere, a Wanda Properties dollar bond maturing early in 2024 was up more than half a cent at 50.75 to the dollar.
