HONG KONG, Nov 3 (AP): Chinese regulators summoned Ant Group founder Jack Ma and two other senior executives to a meeting just days before the company's shares are due to begin trading following a blockbuster offering expected to be the world’s largest.

In a statement issued on Monday, the People’s Bank of China, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the Securities Regulatory Commission and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange said they had conducted "regulatory interviews” with Ma, Ant Group's chairman Eric Jing and its president Hu Xiaoming.
