According to the 2020 Annual Report of Harbin Bank, this loan was fully withdrawn (disbursed) by the end of calendar year 2020. Huishang Bank was the lead bank and Harbin Bank was the agency bank. Huishang Bank's contribution to the syndicated loan is captured in Record ID#92511. Harbin Bank's contribution to the syndicated loan is captured in Record ID#92512.
