China’s embattled retail giant Suning.com Co. Ltd. is getting a 5 billion yuan ($685 million) lifeline from state-backed Citic Trust Co. Ltd. and China Huarong Asset Management Co. Ltd. to help turn its business around.

Citic Trust and China Huarong will invest the funds in Suning over 10 years to help revive the once-highflying retailer, according to Citic Trust, a unit of state-owned conglomerate Citic Group Co. Ltd. Citic Group is also the largest shareholder of China Huarong with 26.46% after a multibillion-dollar overhaul of the troubled bad-debt manager.
