Billionaire investor issues warning over China’s ‘crazy’ business tactic: Be ‘very careful’

Mark Mobius claims China not allowing investment outflows, ‘restricting’ his HSBC account

Mark Mobius, who allocates capital all over the world, has raised a red flag about doing business – or trying to bow out of your business – with China.

“I’m personally affected because I have an account with HSBC in Shanghai. I can’t get my money out. The government is restricting the flow of money out of the country,” Mobius told FOX Business host Maria Bartiromo. “So I would be very, very careful investing in China.”

On “Mornings with Maria” Thursday, the Mobius Capital Partners founder noted that China’s bottom line is moving “in a completely different direction” than its former open-minded-market revolutionary leader Deng Xiaoping.

“Now you have a government which is taking gold in shares in companies all over China. That means they’re going to try to control all these companies,” Mobius explained. “So I don’t think it’s a very good picture when you see the government becoming more and more control oriented in the economy.”
