Chinese billionaire Liu Dian Bo bought an Australian private hospital for $900 million in 2015. Now he shut it down and fired 800 healthcare workers. 9news.com.au/national/coron…
Liu Dian Bo is the owner of the Chinese pharmaceutical giant Luye Pharma, which bought and now owns a ton of biotech companies throughout Asia and Australia.

For perspective, Luye was set to be the largest IPO offering in Singapore in five years when it was announced in January.
The timing is interesting, to say the least. Luye doesn't really need any money to keep the Healthe Care hospitals in Australia running, but they're using the coronavirus outbreak to force the Aussie government to subsidize them.
Just to be clear, Healthe Care is made up of 34 private hospitals. It's not just one hospital. Liu Dian Bo bought the whole lot.

Luye Pharma also bought the rights to Seroquel and a bunch of antidepressant medications worldwide. Suppose you'll need those soon.
