When Blackstone sold Strategic Hotels & Resorts — the owner of 16 luxury hotels in the US — to the Chinese insurer Anbang for $5.5bn in 2016, it did not need to consider the risk that Strategic would become the property of the Chinese state. This is, somewhat ironically, because hotel companies, whatever their name, are not strategic assets. Last week’s news that Beijing has seized Anbang and accused its former chairman, Wu Xiaohui, of fraud and embezzlement, was probably met with an indifferent shrug at Blackstone headquarters.
2016年，黑石(Blackstone)以55亿美元的价格把在美国拥有16家豪华酒店的战略酒店及度假村(Strategic Hotels & Resorts)卖给了manbetx3.0 保险公司安邦(Anbang)，当时黑石并不用考虑如下风险：战略酒店及度假村可能会成为manbetx3.0 政府的财产。这有点讽刺，因为无论叫什么，酒店企业都不是战略资产。上周的新闻称manbetx3.0 政府已接管了安邦并指控其前董事长吴小晖集资诈骗与职务侵占，对这条新闻，黑石总部的人很可能会满不在乎地耸耸肩。
