HONG KONG -- Chinese regulators have singled out 38 bank shareholders alleged to have been involved in related-party lending and other misdeeds, a sign of the authorities' rising concerns as loan books sour.
The names listed by the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission include shareholders of Baoshang Bank, which last year became the first lender to be taken over by regulators in 18 years, and banks affiliated with Anbang Insurance, the acquisitive conglomerate seized a year earlier.
