SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST:

- NetEase.com, operator of the popular online World of
Warcraft game franchise on the mainland, has been caught in the
middle of a dispute nastier than any virtual battle - a turf
war between government regulators.

- Shares in Trinity, the high-end menswear retailer
controlled by the parent of Li & Fung, gained 49.1 per cent in
their first day of trading yesterday, the third-best debut of a
new listing in Hong Kong so far this year.

- Swire Pacific's (SEHK:0019) planned HK$30 billion
(US$3.870 billion) flotation of its property business sent
shares of the blue chip to a 20-month high yesterday.

- The mainland's banking regulator plans to review debt
levels at some real estate developers amid concerns that
borrowings are fuelling excessive increases in property prices,
a person familiar with the matter said.

- Homebuyers hoping to find a flat for HK$2 million or less
and close to transport links can still find units that fit
their pockets - but they may have to look further afield or
accept cramped conditions, say agents.

THE STANDARD:

- Menswear retailer Trinity (SEHK:0891) made a volatile
trading debut yesterday, surprising investors by soaring as
much as 94.5 after rising only 10 per cent in the gray market
on Monday.

- Alarmed by a surge in property prices, the mainland's
banking regulator plans to review the debt levels of some
developers.

- Home sales in Hong Kong dropped to a seven-month low in
October with potential buyers concerned about a possible bubble
because of fast-rising prices.

- China Overseas Land & Investment (SEHK:0668) has met this
year's target of selling 4.3 million square meters of property
already - by the end of October.

- China National Offshore Oil Corp (SEHK:0883) may build a
network of battery-changing stations for electric cars in
China, the world's second-biggest car market.
