Fosun is facing a genuine wall it has no idea how to circumvent, or scale. The embattled Chinese conglomerate owned by billionaire Guo Guangchang is exploring all options to reduce the debt it has contracted in recent years. In September, the Chinese group virtually collapsed on the stock market, notably because, according to various sources, including Bloomberg, it must repay some $8 billion in short-term bonds. In the last few weeks, Fosun has been selling off some of the assets it held in various sectors. At the end of October, it sold its 60% stake in steel group Nanjing Iron & Steel
