The world maybepreoccupied withrncompetition from China, but the country's financial sector has so far made a dismal showing in international markets. Citic Securities Co. nearly lost $1 billion on Bear Stearns Cos. but abandoned a planned investment in the U.S. firm just before it was swallowed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Ping An Insurance Co. was less fortunate, losing almost $3.49 billion when it bought a 4.99 percent stake in Fortis shortly before the Belgian bank collapsed in September 2008 and was nationalized. Little surprise, then, that for the most part China's financial giants have kept their focus on the home market.
