- Citic Resources Holdings may offer as much as US$10 billion for the coal-gas assets of Australia's Origin Energy, highlighting the mainland's growing thirst for new energy sources.

- Great Wall Motor said yesterday it might hire independent car experts to support a possible appeal to an Italian court ruling that its Peri passenger car was a copy of Fiat's Panda.
