It seems quite appropriate that we’re ending 2013 with word of yet another acquisition and New York IPO plan in China’s Internet space by leading search site Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU), capping a year that will go down as the most active for Chinese online M&A in the sector’s short but colorful history. It’s certainly appropriate that Baidu’s name is connected to both of these final news bits for the year, since the company and e-commerce leader Alibaba were the 2 most active drivers of this year’s M&A wave.

Boosted by the big success of the IPO for its money-losing Qunar (Nasdaq: QUNR) online travel unit, Internet search leader Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU) is reportedly aiming to test investor appetite for a similar offering next year for its loss-making iQiyi online video unit. Frankly speaking, I don’t think this plan looks very good for a number of reasons, led by the fact that money-losing firms aren’t very attractive in general to investors. Qunar has been the only money-loser of 5 Chinese tech companies to make New York IPOs in the last 2 months, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if investors were attracted to the firm chiefly for its strong ties to Baidu, its controlling stakeholder.

Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) Cloud Web Services Enters China In New Tie-Up (Chinese article)
US-listed Chinese stocks neared the end of 2013 with a wild ride last week, as 3 major developments provided a glimpse of the bumpy road that lies ahead in the New Year. That performance points to a strong start for new IPOs at the start of 2014, even though momentum could quickly flag due to the highly volatile and unpredictable nature of these stocks.

After gobbling up billions of dollars worth of debt from Chinese Internet companies over the last year, investors may finally be starting to get full on the bond feast with word that online real estate services firm E-House (NYSE: EJ) has sharply trimmed its plan for a new major offering. One can interpret this unexpected twist in a number of ways, which I’ll explain shortly. But from my perspective the development looks like one of the first signs that a resurgence of interest in US-listed Chinese tech firms over the last few months could quickly dim in the first half of 2014 as investors turn their attention to other companies.

A recent rush into financial services by Chinese Internet firms took a new twist last week when China Unicom (HKEx: 762; NYSE: CHU), the nation’s second biggest wireless carrier, announced it will move into the space with the establishment of a new joint venture. Unicom joins China’s major Internet companies and a wide range of other firms in launching such joint ventures, with Alibaba, Tencent (HKEx: 700) and Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU) all announcing similar tie-ups this year.

Top executives at controversial software security maker Qihoo 360 (NYSE: QIHU) have been blitzing cyberspace these past few days with a campaign to convince the world that it’s suddenly become a defender of justice and occupier of the moral high ground. This sudden offensive almost looks coordinated, with Qihoo aiming its newest assaults at 3 of its favorite targets, search leader Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU), top social networking firm Tencent (HKEx: 700) and fast-rising super-cool smartphone maker Xiaomi.
