Metro plans to sell a majority stake in its Chinese business, sources said. Metro has 95 stores in China and real estate assets in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.
This is part of Metro's global restructuring plan. China's wholesale and retail businesses are being impacted by e-commerce providers.
