China Southern invests US$1.5b in Xi Jinping's dream city

China Southern Airlines will invest CNY10b (US$1.5b) in Xiongan, the new city spearheaded by Chinese president Xi Jinping that aspires to be a model for China’s future urban development. The airline operator will allocate CNY2.5b in cash and CNY7.5b in tangible assets to set up a subsidiary called China Southern Airline Xiongan in the city, to provide flight services and sales of aviation materials, according to a stock exchange filing Friday. Xiongan, which Jinping designated just over a year ago, wants to be a high-tech city teeming with leading-edge companies and world-class transportation. The city has attracted investment -- both for business opportunities and political reasons -- from some of China’s largest companies. <br/>
