In 2001, the subsidiary Hongkong Chinese Bank was sold to CITIC Ka Wah Bank for HK$4.2  billion. [2] [3] The holding company itself was renamed to Hongkong Chinese Limited on 8 February 2002. [4] In the same year 85% shares of Macau Chinese Bank [5] and 85% stake of ImPac Asset Management [6] were acquired, for MOP$190 million (from Finibanco  [ pt ] and Alvaro Pinho da Costa Leite) and US$2.125 million (from ImPac Partners) respectively. An additional 15% shares of the bank were acquired from Wong Kon Kei in September 2007, for MOP$47.2 million. [7] In the same year Hongkong Chinese Limited proposed to sell 60% shares of the intermediate holding company of the bank, Winwise Holdings Limited. [8] However, the deal collapsed.

In 2006 Hongkong Chinese Limited, partnering Argyle Street Management, acquired Kim Seng Plaza, Singapore. [9]

In June 2015, 49% shares of Macau Chinese Bank was sold to Chinese state-owned Nam Yue Group (40%) and Yang Jun (9%) respectively for MOP$441 million. [10] Hongkong Chinese Limited remained as the major shareholder for 51% shares. In October 2015, an additional 31% shares were sold to Nam Yue Group (16%) and Wong Kar Ho (15%) for MOP$279 million, subject to the approval of the Monetary Authority of Macau. [11] [12]

In 2001, 50% shares of Lippo CRE (Financial Services) Limited and 5.84% shares of HKCB Bank Holding that were held by China Resources Enterprise directly, were sold to Lippo China Resources, for about HK$1.8 billion.
