Due to the debt owed to GS Holdings, Zhang, who is GS Holdings’ non-independent and non-executive chairman, has been suspended from his duties.
Pang Pok, the company’s CEO and executive director, will take over Zhang’s duties as acting chairman.
In a separate statement, GS Holdings revealed that some RMB22 million held by its Chinese subsidiary, Wish Health Management (Shanghai), has been retained by the Chinese authorities.
