Wanda has continued to sell shopping centres in 2026, most recently a Shanghai plaza for about CNY 2.048 billion, while China State Construction’s engineering bureaus have increasingly taken ownership of former Wanda projects. These transactions often represent asset-for-debt swaps to settle unpaid construction bills and complicate Wanda’s planned shift to a light-asset, management-centric model.
