Kishida Seen Meeting with Xi on Nov. 16

 

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida plans to hold a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum summit next week, possibly on Nov. 16, several Japanese government sources said Thursday. The APEC summit will be held in San Francisco for three days from Nov. 15. The envisaged bilateral summit, if realized, will be the first between the leaders of Japan and China in around a year. The previous summit was held in Bangkok in November last year. Takeo Akiba, secretary-general of the National Security Secretariat, will visit China to discuss details of the expected Kishida-Xi summit, the sources said. The Japanese and Chinese sides are considering scheduling the bilateral summit for Nov. 16, a day after Xi and U.S. President Joe Biden are expected to hold a summit, they also said.

China's top regulators summon big developers for financial briefings

 

China's central bank, the Housing Ministry and top financial and securities regulators summoned financial chiefs of six leading property developers Tuesday for briefings on the companies' liquidity and debt situations, Caixin learned from sources.

The developers are state-owned China Resources Land, China Overseas Land and Investment, Poly Real Estate Group, mixed-ownership developer China Vanke, Gemdale and private developer Longfor Properties. The six are the few big developers that have avoided defaulting amid the widespread liquidity crisis in the real estate sector.

In addition, Caixin learned from sources that the regulators also summoned Vanke, Longfor and Seazen Group last week. The meetings show regulators' concerns over developers' individual difficulties and signal they may consider measures to help the industry, analysts said.

 

As China's property crisis heads into its fourth year and spreads to some of the largest developers, seemingly healthy real estate giants also face liquidity pressures. After former top developer Country Garden defaulted on a dollar bond for the first time last month, Vanke's dollar bonds also plunged.

Gemdale's shares and bonds also dropped last month after its chairman resigned, intensifying investor concerns about its financial sustainability in the face of more than 10 billion yuan ($1.37 billion) of maturing debt.

At the Tuesday meeting, the six developers described their current operating situations.They asked regulators to relax rules on presale funds and increase amounts of money available for operational property loans, according to market participants.

Representatives of the regulators didn't make any promises at the meeting, Caixin learned from the sources. The regulators didn't officially confirm the meeting.

 

In a speech delivered at the Financial Street Forum in Beijing Wednesday, People's Bank of China Gov. Pan Gongsheng said the central bank will actively cooperate with industry authorities and local governments to support the steady and healthy development of the real estate market, mitigate risks in the sector and prevent risk spillover. Pan also vowed to satisfy the financing needs of all types of developers regardless of whether they are private or owned by the state.

MORGAN, UNABLE TO EAT, DIES IN ROME; BODY IS TO BE SENT HERE FOR BURIAL

 

J. P. MORGAN DIES IN ROME; DELIRIOUS SINCE EASTER

โ€”

Unable to Eat or Drink Following Acute Attack of Gastro Enteritis On His

Egyptian Tourโ€”Was Seventy-six Years Old

โ€”

END CAME SOONER THAN PHYSICIANS EXPECTED

ROME, March 31โ€”J. Pierpont Morgan lies dead here at the Grand Hotel. His death, which had been certain for hours owing to the fact that he had been

able to take no food for two days and but little liquid food for many weeks, came with a swift decline at 7.05 this morning, New York time.

 

Attending him as physicians were Dr. M. Allen Starr, who was not only the Morgan family physician, but one of his closest friends; Dr. Dixon, who has been travelling with Mr. Morgan, and Dr. Giuseppe Bastianelli, an eminent Roman specialist in diseases of the stomach.

 

It was announced this afternoon that Mr. Morgan's body will be taken to America as soon as proper arrangements can be made. A statement giving the full story of Mr. Morgan's illness has been prepared

by Prof. Giuseppe Bastianelli, Dr. M. Allen Starr and Dr. George A. Dixon and cabled to his son in New York. The statement recapitulates the symptoms

of Mr. Morgan's malady since it first developed in Egypt. It qualifies his illness as nervous prostration, but says that his intelligence remained

normal until Easter Sunday. Then a gradual general collapse supervened, affecting the digestion and the mental faculties until delirium ensued. The

rise of temperature noted was, it is stated, probably due to lesions of the brain.

 

The end came sooner than the physicians had anticipated. Drs. Starr, Dixon and Bastianelli had issued a bulletin an hour before, saying that while Mr. Morgan was unable to recognize those about him and his condition was hopeless he might linger for forty-eight hours.

 

A quarter of an hour before the end the physicians asked Mr. and Mrs. Satterlee to leave the death chamber and to go into an adjoining room. They

feared that the end might come with a distressingly violent spasm of pain.

Mr. Morgan's life faded out without the slightest indication that he was conscious of its passing.

 

The members of the family were called in just at the moment of death, and were at the bedside when the last spark of life flickered out.

 

WORRIED BY WORK OF PUJO COMMITTEE

 

Immediately after his death Dr. M. Allen Starr, who was very much affected, said that Mr. Morgan's illness and death were directly due to the emotional strain inflicted by his being called upon to account for his life and his financial career before the Pujo committee at Washington just before the

Christmas holidays. His departure for Egypt was at the insistence of the physicians, who said that his nervous breakdown demanded a change of scene and a departure from this country.

 

The whole truth of Mr. Morgan's illness was confided to The Evening World

to-day by a close friend of the Morgan family. Mr. Morgan was ill with a nervous breakdown when he left New York on the Adriatic. When the ship was stuck in the mud down the bay he did not feel well enough to go to the deck with the other passengers who were watching the tugs haul her back into thechannel.

 

Before the ship reached Alexandria he was taken ill on the Mediterranean with acute gastro-enteritis. He suffered horribly, and it was feared he would die on shipboard. On his arrival he became slightly better and took liberties with his digestion.

 

An immediate return of the earlier attack occurred, and there was again grave danger of his death. Dr. Bastianelli, the Roman specialist, was summoned. He found on his arrival in the first week in March that the gastro-enteritis, almost certainly fatal in a man of Mr. Morgan's years, was complicated by Nile fever.

 

From that day to this Mr. Morgan had not tasted solid food. He had been nourished on champagne and champagne glace. Two days ago even this slight nourishment failed, and he did not assimilate the food administered hypodermically. The physical exertion of the convulsions of pain which accompanied the two attacks of gastro-enteritis had caused an attack of paralysis which affected the throat and reduced him to writing his brief communications to the physicians and his family, and in the end to communicate with them by signs. There was grave fear of his death on the ship which carried him from Egypt to Naples. He was on deck but once, and then was supported on the arms of his physicians and stayed only an hour.
