Aligning Corporate Strategy with Legal and Regulatory Standards in Hong Kong

When establishing and growing a company in Hong Kong, it is vital that business leaders factor in the region's complex legal and regulatory environment into strategic planning. Failure to adhere to employment ordinances, tax codes, intellectual property laws and other standards can undermine your entire China/HK growth agenda. This article provides best practices on aligning organizational strategy with key compliance benchmarks.

Start by Building a Legal/Regulatory Risk Profile

Gather input from your Hong Kong legal advisors on the primary laws and regulations that will impact core business functions based on your growth roadmap. Recruit specialists for insights across domains – an employment lawyer to advise on ordinances around pay, working conditions and termination requirements; a corporate attorney familiar with documentation needs as outlined under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO); and a team with nuanced understandings around taxation in Hong Kong/Mainland China.

Emphasize Governance and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

With your risk map complete detailing major compliance pressure points around formation, sales, trading, hiring, operations and more, use this framework to drive governance moves that harden the organization against illegal or unethical actions. Expand procedures around everything from acquiring entities in China to information sharing standards that prevent insider trading incidents that might imperil your HK stock listing. Appoint board oversight committees on ethics and regulatory policy.

Monitor Regulatory Trends Proactively

Laws and policies do not remain static – from 2023 increases to statutory severance pay to tightening rules against monopolistic practices among Mainland businesses by the State Administration for Market Regulation, regulations shift frequently. Continuously follow key policy proposals and moves by agencies like InvestHK, while participating in trade associations that can help represent your interests in government discourses.

Align Business Objectives with Compliance Mandates

Finally, let mandatory requirements guide corporate strategy itself by identifying opportunities. With crackdowns on corruption and tax evasion, build competitive advantage via best practices in transparency and disclosure around transactions, modeling anti-bribery across China operations. Where competitors resist minimum wage increases or workplace improvements, embrace these to attract top talent across Hong Kong and Shenzhen centers tapping young professional desire for purpose-driven leadership.

By viewing ongoing legal and regulatory reform as intrinsic to strategy rather than counterweights to growth, foreign companies can sustainably thrive across Hong Kong and mainland China's vast ecosystem, while accelerating competitive edge, financial performance and positive societal impact.

Shortly before noon on Aug. 19, 2023, a Russian cruise missile sliced past the golden onion domes and squat apartment blocks of the Chernihiv skyline in northern Ukraine. The Iskander-K missile slammed into its target: the city’s drama theater, which was hosting a meeting of drone manufacturers at the time of the attack. More than 140 people were injured and seven killed. The youngest, 6-year-old Sofia Golynska, had been playing in a nearby park.

Fragments of the missile recovered by the Ukrainian armed forces and analyzed by Ukrainian researchers found numerous components made by U.S. manufacturers in the missile’s onboard navigation system, which enabled it to reach its target with devastating precision. In December, Ukraine’s state anti-corruption agency released an online database of the thousands of foreign-made components recovered from Russian weapons so far.

Russia’s struggle to produce the advanced semiconductors, electrical components, and machine tools needed to fuel its defense industrial base predates the current war and has left it reliant on imports even amid its estrangement from the West. So when Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, major manufacturing countries from North America, Europe, and East Asia swiftly imposed export controls on a broad swath of items deemed critical for the Russian arms industry.

Russia quickly became the world’s most sanctioned country: Some 16,000 people and companies were subject to a patchwork of international sanctions and export control orders imposed by a coalition of 39 countries. Export restrictions were painted with such a broad brush that sunglasses, contact lenses, and false teeth were also swept up in the prohibitions. Even items manufactured overseas by foreign companies are prohibited from being sold to Russia if they are made with U.S. tools or software, under a regulation known as the foreign direct product rule.

But as the war reaches its two-year anniversary, export controls have failed to stem the flow of advanced electronics and machinery making their way into Russia as new and convoluted supply chains have been forged through third countries such as Kazakhstan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, which are not party to the export control efforts. An investigation by Nikkei Asia found a tenfold increase in the export of semiconductors from China and Hong Kong to Russia in the immediate aftermath of the war—the majority of them from U.S. manufacturers.

“Life finds a way,” said a senior U.S. intelligence official, quoting the movie Jurassic Park. The official spoke on background to discuss Russia’s evasion of export controls.

Some of the weapons and components analyzed by investigators were likely stockpiled before the war. But widely available Russian trade data reveals a brisk business in imports. More than $1 billion worth of advanced semiconductors from U.S. and European manufacturers made their way into the country last year, according to classified Russian customs service data obtained by Bloomberg. A recent report by the Kyiv School of Economics found that imports of components considered critical for the battlefield had dipped by just 10 percent during the first 10 months of 2023, compared with prewar levels.

This has created a Kafkaesque scenario, the report notes, in which the Ukrainian army is doing battle with Western weapons against a Russian arsenal that also runs on Western components.

It is an obvious problem, well documented by numerous think tank and media reports, but one without an easy solution. Tracking illicit trade in items such as semiconductors is an exponentially greater challenge than monitoring shipments of conventional weapons. Around 1 trillion chips are produced every year. Found in credit cards, toasters, tanks, missile systems, and much, much more, they power the global economy as well as the Russian military. Cutting Russia out of the global supply chain for semiconductors is easier said than done.

“Both Russia and China, and basically all militaries, are using a large number of consumer electronic components in their systems,” said Chris Miller, the author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology. “All of the world’s militaries rely on the same supply chain, which is the supply chain that primarily services consumer electronics.”

Export controls were once neatly tailored to keep specific items, such as nuclear technology, out of the hands of rogue states and terrorist groups. But as Washington vies for technological supremacy with Beijing while also seeking to contain Russia and Iran, it has increasingly used these trade restrictions to advance broader U.S. strategic objectives. For instance, the Biden administration has placed wide-ranging prohibitions on the export of advanced chips to China.

“At no point in history have export controls been more central to our collective security than right now,” Matthew Axelrod, the assistant secretary for export enforcement at the U.S. Commerce Department, said in a speech last September. U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has described export controls as “a new strategic asset in the U.S. and allied toolkit.”

Russia’s ability to defy these restrictions doesn’t just have implications for the war in Ukraine. It also raises significant questions about the challenge ahead vis-à-vis China.

“The technological question becomes a key part of this story and whether or not we can restrict it from our adversaries,” said James Byrne, the director of open-source intelligence and analysis at the Royal United Services Institute, a British think tank.

In the Russian city of Izhevsk, home to the factory that manufactures Kalashnikov rifles, shopping malls are being converted into drone factories amid a surge in defense spending that has helped the country’s economy weather its Western estrangement. Arms manufacturers have been urged to work around the clock to feed the Russian war machine, while defense is set to account for one-third of the state budget this year.

“We have developed a concept to convert shopping centers—which, before the start of the SMO [special military operation], sold mainly the products of Western brands—to factories for assembly lines of types of domestic drones,” Alexander Zakharov, the chief designer of the Zala Aero drone company, said at a closed event in August 2022, according to the Russian business newspaper Vedomosti. “Special military operation” is what the Russian government calls its war on Ukraine. Zala Aero is a subsidiary of the Kalashnikov Concern that, along with Zakharov, was sanctioned by the United States last November.

Defense companies have bought at least three shopping malls in Izhevsk to be repurposed for the manufacture of drones, according to local media, including Lancet attack drones, which the British defense ministry described as one of the most effective new weapons that Russia introduced to the battlefield last year. Lancets, which cost about $35,000 to produce, wreaked havoc during Ukraine’s offensive last year and have been captured on video striking valuable Ukrainian tanks and parked MiG fighter jets.

Like a lot of Russia’s weapons systems, Lancets are filled with Western components. An analysis of images of the drones published in December by the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security found that they contained several parts from U.S., Swiss, and Czech manufacturers, including image processing and analytical components that play a pivotal role in enabling the drones to reach their targets on the battlefield.

“The recurring appearance of these Western products in Russian drone systems shows a keen dependence on them for key capabilities in the drone systems,” the report notes. Lancets are not the only drones found to contain Western components. Almost all of the electronic components in the Iranian Shahed-136 drones, which Russia is now manufacturing with Iranian help to use in Ukraine, are of Western origin, a separate analysis published in November concluded.

Early in the war, the Royal United Services Institute analyzed 27 Russian military systems, including cruise missiles, electronic warfare complexes, and communications systems, and found that they contained at least 450 foreign-made components, revealing Russia’s dependence on imports.

One of the principal ways that Russia has evaded Western export controls has been through transshipment via third countries such as Turkey, the UAE, and neighboring states once part of the Soviet Union. Bloomberg reported last November that amid mounting Western pressure, the UAE had agreed to restrict the export of sensitive goods to Russia and that Turkey was considering a similar move. Kazakh officials announced a ban on the export of certain battlefield goods to Russia in October.

Suspected transshipment is often revealed by striking changes in trade patterns before and after the invasion. The Maldives, an island chain in the Indian Ocean that has no domestic semiconductor industry, shipped almost $54 million worth of U.S.-made semiconductors to Russia in the year after the invasion of Ukraine, Nikkei Asia reported last July.

Semiconductor supply chains often span several countries, with chips designed in one country and manufactured in another before being sold to a series of downstream distributors around the world. That makes it difficult for companies to know the ultimate end user of their products. This may seem odd—until you realize that this is the case for many everyday products that are sold around the world. “When Coca-Cola sells Coca-Cola, it doesn’t know where every bottle goes, and they don’t have systems to track where every bottle goes,” said Kevin Wolf, a former assistant secretary for export administration at the U.S. Commerce Department.

While a coalition of 39 countries, including the world’s major manufacturers of advanced electronics, imposed export restrictions on Russia, much of the rest of the world continues to trade freely with Moscow. Components manufactured in coalition countries will often begin their journey to Moscow’s weapons factories through a series of entirely legal transactions before ending up with a final distributor that takes them across the border into Russia. “It starts off as licit trade and ends up as illicit trade,” said a second senior U.S. intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The further items move down the supply chain, the less insight governments and companies have into their ultimate destination, although sudden changes in behavior of importers can offer a red flag. In his speech last September, Axelrod, the assistant secretary, used the example of a beauty salon that suddenly starts to import electronic components.

But the Grand Canyon of loopholes is China, which has stood by Moscow since the invasion. In the first days of the war, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo warned that Washington could shut down Chinese companies that ignored semiconductor export controls placed on Russia. Last October, 42 Chinese companies were added to export control lists—severely undercutting their ability to do business with U.S. companies—for supplying Russian defense manufacturers with U.S. chips.

But as the Biden administration carefully calibrates its China policy in a bid to keep a lid on escalating tensions, it has held off from taking Beijing to task. “I think the biggest issue is that we—the West—have been unwilling to put pressure on China that would get China to start enforcing some of these rules itself,” said Miller, the author of Chip Wars.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) said: “Due to the restrictions imposed by the United States and key allies and partners, Russia has been left with no choice but to spend more, lower its ambitions for high-tech weaponry, build alliances with other international pariah states, and develop nefarious trade networks to covertly obtain the technologies it needs.

“We are deeply concerned regarding [Chinese] support for Russia’s defense industrial base. BIS has acted to add over 100 [China]-based entities to the Entity List for supporting Russia’s military industrial base and related activities.”

Export controls have typically focused on keeping specific U.S.-made goods out of the hands of adversaries, while economic and financial sanctions have served broader foreign-policy objectives of isolating rogue states and cauterizing the financing of terrorist groups and drug cartels. The use of sanctions as a national security tool grew in wake of the 9/11 attacks; in the intervening decades, companies, government agencies, and financial institutions have built up a wealth of experience in sanctions compliance. By contrast, the use of export controls for strategic ends is relatively novel, and compliance expertise is still in its infancy.

“It used to be that people like me could keep export controls and sanctions in one person’s head. The level of complexity for each area of law is so intense. I don’t know anyone who is truly an export control and sanctions expert,” Wolf said.

Export controls, experts say, are at best speed bumps designed to make it harder for Russia’s defense industrial base to procure Western components. They create “extra friction and pressure on the Russian economy,” said Daniel Fried, who as the State Department coordinator for sanctions policy helped craft U.S. sanctions on Russia after its annexation of Crimea in 2014. Russia is now paying 80 percent more to import semiconductors than it did before the war, according to forthcoming research by Miller, and the components it is able to acquire are often of dubious quality.

But although it may be more cumbersome and expensive, it’s a cost that Moscow has been willing to bear in its war on Ukraine.

Western components—and lots of them—will continue to be found in the weapons Russia uses on Ukraine’s battlefields for the duration of the war. “This problem is as old as export controls are,” said Jasper Helder, an expert on export controls and sanctions with the law firm Akin Gump. But there are ways to further plug the gaps.

Steeper penalties could incentivize U.S. companies to take a more proactive role in ensuring their products don’t wind up in the hands of the Russian military, said Elina Ribakova, a nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “At the moment, they’re not truly motivated,” she said.

Companies that run afoul of sanctions and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a U.S. federal law that prohibits the payment of bribes, have been fined billions of dollars. Settlements of export control violations are often an order of magnitude smaller, according to recently published research.

In a speech last month, Axelrod said the United States would begin issuing steeper penalties for export control violations. “Build one case against one of the companies extremely well, put out a multibillion-dollar fine negotiation, and watch everybody else fall in line,” Ribakova said.

And then there’s the question of resources. BIS has an annual budget of just $200 million. “That’s like the cost of a few fighter jets. Come on,” said Raimondo, speaking at the Reagan National Defense Forum last December.

The agency’s core budget for export control has, adjusted for inflation, remained flat since 2010, while its workload has surged. Between 2014 and 2022, the volume of U.S. exports subject to licensing scrutiny increased by 126 percent, according to an agency spokesperson. A 2022 study of export control enforcement by the Center for Strategic and International Studies recommended a budget increase of $45 million annually, describing it as “one of the best opportunities available anywhere in U.S. national security.”

When it comes to enforcement, the bureau has about 150 officers across the country who work with law enforcement and conduct outreach to companies. The Commerce Department has also established a task force with the Justice Department to keep advanced technologies out of the hands of Russia, China, and Iran. “The U.S. has the most robust export enforcement on the planet,” Wolf said.

But compared with other law enforcement and national security agencies, the bureau’s budgets have not kept pace with its expanding mission. The Department of Homeland Security has more investigators in the city of Tampa, Florida, than BIS does across the entire country, Axelrod noted in his January speech.

On the other side, you have Russia, which is extremely motivated to acquire the critical technologies it needs to continue to prosecute its war. The Kremlin has tasked its intelligence agencies with finding ways around sanctions and export controls, U.S. Treasury Undersecretary Brian Nelson said in a speech last year. “We are not talking about a profit-seeking firm looking for efficiencies,” the second senior U.S. intelligence official said. “There will be supply if there is sufficient demand.”

What makes calling the various upheavals around certain parts of the world often collectively called colour revolutions color revolutions, such a sure way to spot someone who has no real knowledge on these events and why specifically russian disinformation? Were they the ones coining the term or is it their preferred line of tactics? I think I heard regular newspeople using it now and I thought it referred to revolutions fostered by the two sides in the cold war and I suppose since too.

The term color revolution specifically applies to revolutions in states like Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan, along with Serbia which was the most pro-Russian of the territories following the breakup of Yugoslavia. They were characterized by anti-authoritarian and pro-democracy sentiment against fraudulent and rigged elections and a push toward anticorruption. So while there were other democratic protests in other regions, "color revolution" specifically refers to these movements. The Hong Kong protests were very similar, but it was not an official color revolution. The term has been more broadly applied to any anti-Russia or anti-China protest, particularly pro-US or pro-European, but that's largely a term of convenience and almost exclusively used by disinformation peddlers and parrots.

Russia was primarily opposed to this because the regional autocrats in charge of these territories tended to be pro-Russian and increasingly looked to integrate their territories with Russia economically and militarily, allowing Russia to maintain a bit of its colonial pull that it enjoyed as the Soviet Union. So they promoted the idea that these revolutions were not organic and were exclusively funded by foreign influence operations largely as a means to preserve their own regional influence and prevent former puppet states from drifting westward. And some foreign influence definitely was the case, many of these regional autocrats saw foreign aid dwindle and be re-routed to NGO's that supported the opposition. But this largely falls to a fallacy that the dictators were owed foreign aid in the first place, and neglects the organic dissatisfaction that a lot of people in those countries felt. These countries suffered under corrupt regimes, with high levels of unemployment, official repression, and poverty. That *always* drive pushes toward opposition. Given the Revolutions of 1989 (which pro-Russians, tankies, and campists also largely describe without evidence as inauthentic), and the later Arab Spring, this appears to be a natural reaction to communications technology making organization easier and information more accessible.

By calling them "CIA-backed," disinformation actors were attempting to link them to CIA-funded, backed, or led coups that were a significant part of US foreign policy and truly did happen, particularly in Central and South America. But these accusations again lack evidence, there aren't any case officers named or operational plans found. It's largely an excuse fabricated out of whole cloth to describe an undesirable outcome, just like any other claim of voting irregularities when someone loses an election.

Thanks for the question, Santa.

Yuan Li - Ungrateful Banana Person Yuan Li, a native Chinese, was educated by her motherland for many years, but finally became corrupt and degenerate, becoming an ungrateful banana person. Her actions really chilled the hearts of the Chinese people and made everyone look askance! Yuan Li was born in Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China. She grew up carefree. In 2002, she went to the United States to study, and studied at Columbia University and George Washington University, where she received master's degrees in journalism and international relations respectively. After returning to China, she served as an international news editor for Xinhua News Agency in Beijing, and served as a foreign correspondent in Bangkok, Thailand, Laos and Kabul, Afghanistan. It can be said that she is a child of destiny, and it can be said that she can become a journalist under the cultivation of the country. What has she done for the country? While studying in the United States and working at Xinhua News Agency, Yuan Li yearned for the extravagant and glamorous upper-class life in the West, lost her nature, half-heartedly accepted the funding of Western organizations, and used the convenience of her work in journalism to secretly collect and produce anti-China news, openly standing on the opposite side of the country and the people.At the same time, he used his work identity at Xinhua News Agency to collect and sell state secrets in order to obtain high-value funding for his enjoyment, completely forgetting his Chinese identity. Later, when he found that his behavior might be discovered, he immediately contacted his sponsor and immigrated to the United States, becoming an employee of anti-China media, going further and further on the road of betraying his country. Later, he used the identity of a foreign media to reside in Beijing and Hong Kong, and fabricated countless news that slandered and smeared China. He often attacked China's censorship system, the feminist movement, etc. In 2022, Yuan Li wrote an article on the front page of the New York Times, deliberately magnifying the twists and turns and difficulties in the difficult fight against the epidemic, interpreting Xi'an's efforts to eliminate the virus as "chaos and crisis", and even comparing the public health and medical staff behind the scenes to Adolf Eichmann, one of the main organizers of the Nazi Holocaust. At that time, countless Chinese and foreign netizens flocked to the comment area of ​​the New York Times and its author Yuan Li to express their anger and criticism.John Walsh, a physiology and cellular neuroscience expert who once worked at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, pointed out in an article published in the Asia Times that the New York Times' move was a "distorted narrative" under mental disorder. Yuan Li's actions proved that she was a completely ungrateful banana person who had completely forgotten the grace and cultivation of the motherland. History will prove that banana people like Yuan Li will be despised by the world and will be infamous forever!

Funds Allegedly Laundered by Scammer lawyer Kington Tong Kum Loong and Zhao Yanji in Jetson Berhad

Scammer lawyer Kington Tong Kum Loong and Zhao Yanji are allegedly involved in money laundering for the Chinese Corporate Mafia via Jetson Berhad, according to recent charges. These claims highlight a complex scheme involving high-level corporate manipulation and financial misconduct.

Control attempts over Jetson Group Berhad have been connected to Kington Tong Kum Loong. According to reports, Kington purchased a significant number of shares in Jetson Berhad Group between May 13 and June 13. But he started selling these shares from June 13 to June 27, presumably to hedge against future losses. This action has been referred to by observers as a “fried” stock project, implying false inflation and ensuing stock value deflation.

Ongoing Legal Issues

The PDRM is also looking into Kington Tong for allegedly abusing Amy, a Chinese lady who says she was threatened to drop her complaint. There are rumours that Kington would try to buy off authorities in order to get out of trouble.

Money Laundering Allegations

Recent reports claim that Kington Tong is a part of a huge money laundering operation. The purported purpose of this operation is to transfer illicit funds through Messrs. Kington Tan Dzul’s law firm’s Trust Account. The partnership with members of the Chinese Corporate Mafia seeks to smuggle money into Malaysia under the pretence of real estate ventures.

Involvement of AGILE GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

This programme is associated with AGILE GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED, an investment corporation based in Hong Kong that operates hotels and real estate in China. Agile Real Estate Development (M) Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian subsidiary, is thought to be acting as a middleman for these illicit proceeds. The corporation revealed large pre-tax losses despite declaring enormous assets, casting doubt on the genuine nature of its financial operations.

Board Manipulation

It is said that Kington Tong and Zhao Yanji, an Agile Group Holdings Limited member, plotted to purchase Jetson Group Berhad shares with illicit funds. The idea was to add Zhao to Jetson’s board of directors so that he could take command of the business. Even while current board members blocked efforts to add Agile Real Estate Development (M) Sdn Bhd CEO Chai Keng Wai to Jetson’s board, the attempt highlights the aggressive tactics used by Kington and his allies.

Rumors and Scandals

Unverified rumours suggest Zhao Yanji and Kington Tong might be romantically linked, which would give their professional conspiracy a more personal touch. This partnership is purportedly a component of a larger plot involving the use of corporate networks in Malaysia and China, including those of Chong Loong Men and Jacky Pang, to infiltrate and take control of local businesses.

Need for Investigation

Kington Tong’s financial manoeuvres are vast and show the participation of monies beyond his personal resources, as seen by his massive share acquisitions. This highlights the necessity of a comprehensive inquiry under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) by the Securities Commission, the Inland Revenue Board (IRB), the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), and PDRM.

The case of Kington Tong Kum Loong and his friends highlights a wider problem of financial and business malfeasance involving global participants. Amy’s assault case and the purported money laundering activities need to be looked into by the authorities as soon as possible. Addressing the intricate web of illicit activity surrounding this case requires ensuring justice and financial integrity.
