Dun & Bradstreet halts China unit operations amid probe
(Reuters) - Dun & Bradstreet
Dun & Bradstreet, formed from a 1933 merger of two rival credit reporting agencies, said it is investigating allegations that data collection practices at Shanghai Roadway D&B Marketing Services Co, which it formed in 2009, may violate Chinese consumer data privacy laws.
In a statement, Dun & Bradstreet said the Shanghai Roadway unit had 2011 revenue of around $23 million and operating income of $2 million. Total group revenue last year was $1.76 billion.
In addition to the data collection practices, D&B said it was reviewing complaints that local employees may have violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other laws at its China operations.
The company gave no specific details of the allegations, but said it was cooperating with a Chinese investigation and has voluntarily reported the matters to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Calls to the Shanghai Roadway D&B Marketing Services unit went unanswered on Monday and attempts to access the company's website generated an error message.
A report in the Shanghai Daily newspaper cited Shanghai police as saying they had confiscated four computer servers at the unit's headquarters and questioned three senior executives.
State television said the company had private information, including income levels, jobs and addresses, for some 150 million Chinese residents and had sold individuals' details for 1.5 yuan (23 cents) each to companies involved in marketing or phone sales, the newspaper reported.
The report said the company had collected personal information from banks, insurance companies and real estate agents as well as from cold-call companies.
Wendy Wysong, a foreign legal consultant at Clifford Chance in Hong Kong, said U.S.-based businesses operating in China are regularly scrutinized by U.S. anti-corruption officials, adding that cases of alleged bribery are increasing faster in China than in other countries.
"Very often, as appears here, as a result of internal investigations of other types of non-compliant conduct, possible corrupt conduct is also discovered," she said.
Other U.S. firms operating in China have been accused of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, including IBM, which agreed last March to pay $10 million to settle a complaint, without admitting guilt, that its employees bribed South Korean and Chinese officials.
Law enforcement officials are currently investigating whether Avon Products
Dun & Bradstreet filings with the SEC describe the firm as "the world's leading source of commercial information and insight on businesses."
It said its global database and proprietary analytical functions create reliable information that "is the foundation of our global solutions that customers rely on to make critical business decisions."
Dun & Bradstreet operates several other majority-owned joint ventures in China.
In 2007 it took a majority stake in a venture with Huaxia International Credit Consulting Co Ltd called D&B Huaxia; in 2008 it bought a majority stake in a joint venture with Huicong International Co Ltd; and last year it acquired nearly ...

Shares in Dun & Bradstreet, valued at around $4.1 billion, have gained 48 percent in the past 6 months and last week hit a 13-month high.

(Reuters) - Business information firm Dun & Bradstreet
Dun & Bradstreet said in a statement it is also probing allegations that data collection practices at its Shanghai Roadway D&B Marketing Services Co unit "may violate" local Chinese consumer data privacy laws. The company had acquired the unit in 2009.
Besides the data collection practices, D&B said it has been reviewing certain complaints that local employees may have violated an anti-bribery law -- U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) -- and certain other laws in its China operations.
The company said it is cooperating with the local Chinese investigation, and has voluntarily reported these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

AT&T, China Telecom agree to expand partnership
(Reuters) - AT&T Inc
AT&T said on Wednesday that the agreement would expand its services for business customers in China and that the companies would consider jointly developing services, including video conferencing and managed hosting.
They will also look at working together in other regions, according to AT&T, but it did not provide details.
China Telecom said it will be able to improve its services to Asian customers in the United States by using AT&T's network there for the first time in the expanded agreement.
AT&T already provides services to more than 600 business customers in China, where it says it saw growth in the double-digit percentage range in the last three years.
The new agreement will help AT&T expand its business among the 1,00 multinational companies it targets, Roman Pacewicz, AT&T senior vice president of marketing and global strategy for the company's business services, told Reuters.
Pacewicz said that the global business market is still relatively strong at least for now, despite economic uncertainties.
"Even with these tough economic times, we see the global multinational market behaving relatively well," he said. "We do view some headwinds ahead and as we all know there are some challenges, specifically in Europe."
AT&T and China Telecom have worked together since 2000, when they formed a joint venture, Shanghai Symphony Telecommunications Co.
AT&T shares were up 69 cents or 2.5 percent at $28.75 on the New York Stock Exchange late in the session.

Exclusive: Peabody, China and Russia teams chosen in mine bid
By Fayen Wong
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Mongolia chose U.S. miner Peabody Energy
The project, which may require initial investment of more than $7 billion, is seen as vital to kick-start the land-locked nation's economy. It will also generate billions of dollars in revenue for the companies involved and add tens of millions of tonnes of increasingly rare coking coal used by steel makers.
Mongolia's parliament is likely to consider the decision before July 11, the source said.
"They are the preliminary winners and all the negotiation materials have already been submitted to the parliament for discussion," the official from Mongolia's Resources and Energy Ministry told Reuters by telephone.
"It only needs an approval from the parliament ... the intention is to have all three parties jointly develop Tavan Tolgoi," said the official, who did not want to be identified as the news was not public.
Tavan Tolgoi has estimated reserves of 7.5 billion tonnes of coal, including the world's largest untapped deposit of steel-making coking coal, attractive as a source of supply to steel makers such as ArcelorMittal China, Japan and South Korea are scouring the world and snapping up iron ore and coking coal assets to diversify from heavyweight suppliers such as BHP Billiton The focus has shifted to undeveloped Mongolia, which some analysts say could be one of the fastest-growing economies of the next decade because of its vast quantities of untapped mineral wealth. Last week, the Mongolian government said it had halved the shortlist of bidders for the western Tsankhi block to three from six, but it did not say whether it would cut the list further. Mongolian Prime Minister Sukhbaatar Batbold said last month that the government may share its Tavan Tolgoi project between three or four of the six bidders, media reports said. On Monday, Peabody and Shenhua were not available for comment, while a government official that oversees Korea Resource Corp said he had not been informed of any decision. Shares in Shenhua hit an intraday one-month high and closed up 3.2 percent in Hong Kong in a broader Hong Kong market <.HSI> up 1.6 percent. Mitsui climbed 1.5 percent in a strong Tokyo <.N225> market. Mongolia relies heavily on China for its commodities exports, but is in talks to access Russia's railways and ports as it looks to build new trade ties with other countries in the Far East. If the parliament were to vote down Peabody's participation due to details in its proposal, the government would then look at the other mining groups that had been previously short-listed -- Vale He said there was no deadline for parliament to vote on the winners, but he reckoned a decision should be reached before July 11, before the parliament adjourns. IPO IN SIGHT Members of the Japanese-Korean-Russian consortium include POSCO <005490.KS>, utility firm KEPCO <015760.KS>, trading firm LG Corp and Daewoo International, state-owned Russian Railways and Japanese trading houses Itochu Corp <8001.T>, Sumitomo Corp <8053.T>, Marubeni Corp <8002.T> and Sojitz Corp <2768.T>. The tender is to develop the western Tsankhi block, which holds around 1.2 billion tonnes of reserves, 65 percent of which is coking coal. It has an estimated production life of more than 30 years at 15 million tonnes a year. However, with the deposit located in the middle of a vast desert that has hardly any access to roads, rail lines and power, some observers have estimated that winners might need to pump in over $7 billion as an initial investment. Separately, the eastern Tsankhi coal block will be developed by state-owned Erdenes-Tavan Tolgoi Ltd. The government plans an initial public offering that could raise as much as $10 billion in funds to develop the field. The process of developing Tavan Tolgoi had dragged on over the past two years. This time, however, with the government planning to kick off the Erdenes-Tavan Tolgoi IPO to international investors by late 2011, it will be anxious to wrap up the auction of the western block to help underpin the valuation of east Tsankhi's coal resources, analysts said. Mongolia originally planned to sell as much as 49 percent of the whole Tavan Tolgoi field to a foreign bidder, but canceled the sale early last year in favor of 100-percent state ownership, with plans to only sign a development contract. Now, it has divided the deposit in its eastern and western parts, with the eastern section kept for Mongolia. GEOPOLITICAL The selection process has been heavily laden with political concerns, as Mongolia looks to boost its roughly $6 billion economy. "So far it feels like more of a geopolitical decision and commerce is sort of second," said Dale Choi, chief investment strategist at brokerage Frontier Securities in Ulan Bator. "The government is trying to involve all three, have a cooperation between all three groups. It will be complicated, since there are so many companies." Still, some analysts said the combination makes sense as both the Shenhua-Mitsui venture and the Russian-Korean-Japanese consortium lack experience in developing coking coal deposits. "Peabody can help to fill that gap," said Helen Lau, UOB-Kay Hian's senior metals analyst. (Additional reporting by Elzio T. Barreto Jr. in HONG KONG; Editing by ...
