SHANGHAI — A mysterious document circulating on Chinese social media purported
that regulators had warned state-run banks against financing several overseas deals by the conglomerate, Dalian Wanda Group.
The mysterious document that went viral, before being blocked by Chinese censors, appeared to be
a cellphone photo of the first page of an internal document from the Agricultural Bank of China.
The document described two supposed meetings about Dalian Wanda, one involving a National Development
and Reform Commission official, Zheng Chiping, and the other with China Banking Regulatory Commission officials.
