Biosensors: Chairman Lu Yoh Chie allays fears over his and his affiliates recent sale of their 18.2% stake to Hony Capital; says he has no intention of relinquishing his role in the co. Notes Hony was co's most genuine and persistent pursuer, and most well-suited to take over control given its deep pockets and extensive knowledge about the pharmaceutical industry. Nomura notes Hony has invested in at least 3 similar biotech cos in China...

We note that the Fidelity funds recently increased its aggregate stake to 5.4% from 4.8% via open market purchases.
