the dirty games being played all the time The SEC shouldn’t allow interested parties to vote on delistings, said Smith, whose firm holds shares in around a dozen U.S.-listed Chinese companies across various funds. There is clear risk that “on any market volatility you could get a low-ball offer that is in many ways a foregone conclusion.”

An investor group backed by 58.com’s founder Jinbo Yao was able to approve the transaction even after minority investors including Aberdeen said the proposed bid significantly undervalued the business.
“We wrote to the company but the controlling shareholders were able to vote their shares in favor of the transaction,” Smith said.
we are the controlling shareholders allthough it doesn t seem so .
