A Guide to Navigating Corporate Legal Requirements in Hong Kong

Operating a business in Hong Kong comes with ample opportunities but also an array of legal and regulatory requirements that corporations must comply with. Failing to adhere to the rules around company formation, securities trading, taxation, employment and other key areas can land your business in hot water. This guide outlines the major legal landscape that HK corporations should be aware of.

Choosing a Business Structure

One of the first steps is deciding how you will formally constitute your HK company. Common structures for small to mid-sized companies include a Private Limited Company and Limited Company. Key legal paperwork includes filing Articles of Association and a Memorandum that specifies company objectives and structure. You’ll also need to formally issue company shares and understand share classes as well as share types like ordinary or preference shares with varying ownership rights. Statutory meetings must be held annually.

Following Securities Trading Laws

If your company seeks investment from the public, then you must comply with Hong Kong securities regulations around registering prospectuses, issuing financial reports and disclosing shareholder equity changes, governed overall by the Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO). Listed firms face continuing regulatory burdens around price sensitive information – any data that may impact share prices must be announced. Insider trading is also tightly regulated under SFO, least employees use undisclosed financial information for profit.

Paying Taxes and Filing Returns

As a HK corporation, key taxes will include Profits Tax on company earnings as well as potential Withholding Tax on payments like royalties or service fees sent overseas. Proper calculation of tax residency status is essential to determine tax exposure. Audited accounts may be required, and tax returns generally must be filed annually under strict guidelines.

Meeting Employment, Payroll Regulations

Critical employment law issues span offering employment contracts that meet government standards on pay, overtime, leave policies and more per Hong Kong’s Employment Ordinance. Preventing discrimination and sexual harassment is also mandated. Retirement schemes equivalent to at least the Minimum Wage level (currently HK$37.5 hourly) must be provided. Consult deeply on hiring and termination best practices.

Protecting Intellectual Property Rights

Register trademarks and patents early to establish legal ownership over key company innovations and brands in the Hong Kong market. Also enact document management procedures focused on retaining contracts, transaction records, board minutes and other materials that may be involved in potential disputes or investigations for 6-7 years as best practice.

The regulatory pressures on HK corporations are significant, but with proper legal guidance around formation, trading, hiring, tax policies and IP rights, your company can securely navigate the Hong Kong landscape. Government agencies like InvestHK provide additional resources on ongoing compliance requirements as corporate policies evolve. Taking a conservative approach with oversight from your company secretary or legal team is wise as your business grows and expands.

INSIDER STORIES ABOUT FAYE (SUMMARY / ROUGH TRANSLATION)

Veteran promoter and publicist in Hong Kong's music industry Cheung Wing Kai reminisces with Cantopop vinyl collector Ivan Wong

Faye the 'camel'

Faye was like a 'camel' - she could work for a long time without drinking or eating anything.

She is a diva without airs.

When the time came for her to do the work, she did everything well and would leave immediately after doing it properly. After she was finished, she would get in the car right after.

She works the fastest among the many artists he has worked with.

Shot an MV in 15 minutes

He once heard from a TVB director that she took 15 minutes to shoot an MV during the Cinepoly era (he forgot which song). TVB filmed the MV in a back alley in the city. In 15 minutes, the entire MV was shot and the result was not bad because Faye knew exactly what she was doing.

Not as cool as you think

One year he arranged the Po Leung Charity Show (Gala Spectacular). There were many stars involved including Faye, Leon Lai, Harlem Yu, Terry Lin, Candy Lo, Karen Mok, F4, etc. Because it was a charity show, the production did not have a lot of money. Hairstylists and makeup artists for big stars is not cheap. Faye also uses star makeup artists and hairstylists. But they could only afford 'charity prices'. After hearing this, Faye discussed it with her assistant. Because she knew it was a charity show, she would rather do her own makeup. She was willing to save money and didn't want the company to spend unnecessary money. They were really grateful to Faye (along with her managers Katie and Sister Kwan).

"I think this heavenly queen is really not as cool as you think. In fact, I think she is compassionate and righteous. On the surface, she thinks she is cool. She is actually cold on the outside and hot on the inside."

No dancers

Faye only had one request during that performance: she didn't want dancers. But the problem was her performance was over 10 minutes of singing. It’s difficult to do a live performance without dancers (it's usually required by TVB). He told the production to try to keep the number of dancers as little as possible. There were no complaints from Faye or her manager.

Doesn't like to do publicity

Faye rarely holds autograph sessions. When she was at Sony Music, there was a signing event for "To Love" held at Neway's in Causeway Bay. This was before the concert ("Faye Extraordinary"). Katie suddenly said: "Do we need to do some publicity for the concert?" It was suggested that the publicity could be held during the band rehearsal. It would be a good time to meet reporters.

Faye really didn't want to do it. She really doesn't like publicity and doesn't like to socialize. She just wanted to put on the concert. Why do so much?

Sister Kwan (scolded her): If you don't do publicity, you might as well not do anything at all. Don't even do the concerts.

Faye was willing to do it after listening and the issue was over.

On the day of the concert rehearsal, he suddenly received a call from Ah Fei's assistant, requesting him to come upstairs right away. Faye saw so many reporters and was reluctant to do the publicity work.

He usually never talked to Faye before. But when she saw him, she was willing to cooperate with the media again. He guessed that in her mind, it made her at ease because back when she was at Cinepoly, she did a concert with Leon Lai whom he often worked with then. She was familiar with him. She is quiet but she knew who he was and there's a natural understanding.

So she began to take photos, did interviews, and sang. She may have refused at first but finally did it all.

He thinks the heavenly queen is absolutely not as cold or impersonal as everyone says.

12-31 (CST) Year in Review space notes

This was a Twitter space held by QuelleVous et al. to review the events and exposés from the past year. The recording can be found [here].

[notes I’ve done on previous spaces] [glossary of names]

We had a good start to the year with the interview between Zhang Zhehan and Li Xuezheng. 🥺 (recorded on 2021-12-30, released 2022-01-01)

Li Xuezheng was muted on 01-10.

The Instagram was reactivated three days later.

The Zhang Sanjian WeChat was made another three days after that, 01-16. This showed a SIGNIFICANT difference in “Zhang Zhehan’s” personality less than three weeks after the interview.

The WeChat account itself was registered on 2021-12-24 in Shenzhen. Zhang Zhehan’s police report was filed on the same day in Beijing.

Metadata of several of the hat photos dated them to 01-10, the day Li Xuezheng was muted.

Also on 01-10, Xie Yihua mentioned rolling out the brand in her group chat with fans. She didn’t respond to any questions asking about Li Xuezheng’s wellbeing. 

Xie Yihua has only met Li Xuezheng once, when she and Su Shifu tried to convince him to tell Zhang Zhehan not to sue CAPA in December.

The tea shop is the reason many people initially trusted the WeChat account. At the time most of us did truly believe that the shop was owned by Zhang Mama.  -  Zhang Mama’s company was the tea shop’s pu’er supplier, this is no longer the case. No one has yet shown any pu’er cakes that were produced by Zhang Mama’s company in 2022.   -  Zhang Mama only became a majority share holder of this company in 2021-04.  -  No one who went to the tea shop prior to 813 mentioned meeting Zhang Mama there, only Chen Ahyi who would say that Zhang Mama had just left / was there yesterday / would be there tomorrow.  -  The fake Lufei account (2021-11-14) also came from the tea shop, as did the rumor that Zhang Mama listened to the haizhes’ end of year livestream.  -  Some CP fans didn’t trust the tea shop early on. The biggest issue they raised what that it seemed to be using Zhang Zhehan’s elements as a marketing strategy, which they thought was out of character for him.

 An early essay the WeChat posted claimed to have gotten an antidepressant perscription from Zhang Peichao (aka Doc Creepy).  -  Zhang Peichao has no legitimate authority to do so—he has a PhD in philosophy with a focus on psychological theory, and he actually works as a counsellor (no medical training required, he has a bachelor’s in general biology) and writes self help books.   -  Standard doctor’s notes in China now include notes on whether the patient has had COVID, been in contact with someone who has had COVID, etc. This was not present in the photograph of the perscription included with the essay.  -  Zhang Peichao gave talks for an American university that does not have an APA approved psychology department (which also had a cult scandal a few years ago), and he is on a Hong Kong psychology council that is not well known or respected.  -  He made some troubling statements on his Facebook about mainland China which have now been deleted.  -  He’s primarily based in Shenzhen.  -  He also wrote an essay after Word of Honor aired saying that Wen Kexing was attracted to Zhou Zishu because he had mommy issues, and said rude things about Gong Jun’s acting. -  A lot of the early essays posted by Zhang Sanjian mirror his way of thinking and writing.

Zhang Peichao is offline aquaintances with Hao Jingfang, a sci-fi author who early on said similar things about Gong Jun’s acting. This year she encouraged whalers to attack Gong Jun and claimed she had tried to contact lawyers to sue him for encouraging cyberviolence against Zhang Zhehan. She’s currently muted for politically sensitive posts. She also had work of hers included in an anthology alongside Bai Ying’s boss.

Bai Ying is a reporter for Xinhua News.  -  On 2021-12-01 Xinhua published an article co-authored by Bai Ying interviewing  an unnamed CAPA representative who supported their immoral artist lists. Fans discovered upon digging that Bai Ying himself was a member of CAPA’s ethics committee and in fact had interviewed himself.  -  His career goal is to be a playwright, not a reporter, and he has written several plays funded by CAPA.  -  Fans found his Weibo account, which included posts that were sexually suggestive and critical of China and the CCP.  -  He has continued publishing similar articles throughout this year.   -  He has another online persona that was running with the righteous passersby, claiming to be a female retired CCBI official. He wrote a long essay in 2021-12 that was very sympathetic to fans. The account became known after it kept trying to gift Li Xuezheng money during one of his livestreams, which Bai Ying claimed was accidental.   -  He’s participated in nearly every activity smearing Gong Jun and related to Zhang Sanjian.

Another reporter, Han Dandong, has also written things for CAPA.  -  He has a side account on Weibo that liked and reposted both his own articles and things from righteous passersby.  -  That account also is used to sell homeopathic crystals and includes posts making sexual comments about young women.  -  He had an article about AI face changing technology published in Legal Daily on 2022-12-30. People realized that the Weibo post for this turned on comment selection and left a comment tagging Xie Yihua as the top comment. This was briefly pinned as Legal Daily’s featured post.  -  (Legal Daily itself has done a number of other sketchy things related to 813, including publishing multiple articles slandering Zhang Zhehan and implying the Instagram’s validity. It is likely that this is the work of only select people within Legal Daily, given the size of the organization.)

Many of the people on Weibo who have run away after being exposed are still active on side accounts liking posts related to current happenings.

Fandom is one of the largest markets in China, with huge amounts of money generated from it. This is why so much work goes into embedding fake fans in fandom, manipulating fan behaviour, etc. Our fandom is not exceptional in this respect.

The actions we’ve seen from the Zhang Sanjian scam gang have also been seen by scams aimed at other artist’s fans (badly photoshopped advertisements, peddling cheap merchandise, etc.)

Zhang Zhehan’s fandom was ripe for manipulation after 813 due to the trauma, confusion, and information blackout caused by it. The fact that his fandom is still so active despite his absense is astounding.

Lao Ahyi is a director at Songcheng, an executive unit of CAPA.  -  She was (likely still is) part of Songcheng’s strategy to expand Songcheng into doing online IPs.  -  She’s been planted since 2021-08. Her story was that she was an older lady who had just given birth and was fighting for Zhang Zhehan, and there were rumors put out by Umbrella that she was Zhang Zhehan’s cousin.  -  She has not been visibly active since she was exposed in July, but is still on side accounts.

The most recent person to flee was Shirley (the one who claimed that Zhang Sanjian had been specially invited to the Shanghai Theatre Academy performance), who deleted her Weibo account one hour after being exposed. Deleting a Weibo is a fairly lengthy process, it can’t be done this fast by regular users—the fastest method is by customer service, sending them pictures of your ID, and applying with them to delete your account, and even this usually takes at least 24 hours but can take up to a week. For Shirley to be able to do it so quickly means she is in direct contact with someone at Weibo who was able to do it for her. 

A lot of the people who have been exposed are from the education sector, which has suffered massively due to tutors no longer being able to work during the pandemic. 

If the scale of the current scam seems unbelievable, remember that 813 itself was a huge scam involving planted fans, water armies, bought out journalists, etc. If CAPA is capable of that, why not this?

Chinese livestreams are hugely profitable to both livestreamers and platforms, it’s a multi-trillion yuan industry. CAPA absolutely have the funds to be financing the scam.

Sophie  -  Was born to a not so well off family. In college she met a sugar daddy and became one of his girlfriends in Shanghai. He’s a very successful business man who has dated stars.  -  She wrote about this on an account that she seems to have lost the password to, on which she talked a lot about the other girlfriends and her life experiences. This is all information she posted publicly herself.  -  The sugar daddy broke with her after deciding to only date more famous women. Sophie then met a bank worker, known online as Umbrella, by whom she has a daughter. He refused to marry her until she had a son. The two of them have a Weibo account where they only talk about and post pictures with the son, never the daughter.  -  Umbrella has a get rich quick mentality but has horrible investment sense that has led to them being in debt.   -  They planted themselves in the Word on Honor fandom in 2021-03 after Umbrella was laid off.   -  She seems to listen to these spaces. 👋👋  -  Sophie filters people for Xie Yihua—no one talks to Xie Yihua without talking to her first.   -  Sophie tried to be on the CP side first but people didn’t like her lol.  -  Prior to 813, Sophie was involved in the Wang Peiwen fake girlfriend rumors. She private messaged Danny, one of the people in the yacht photo, asking if Zhang Zhehan had a girfriend. Danny immediately replied saying that Zhang Zhehan was single but did not deny that he was the person on the boat with his face covered in the photo. The fact that this was Sophie (posting on a side account) was unintentionally revealed by one of the big whaler accounts.   -  On her CPF account, Sophie helped to spread the fake girlfriend rumors: she was the one who identified the girl in the photo as Wang Peiwen. Screenshots she posted claiming to be Wang Peiwen messaging Zhang Zhehan’s studio on WeChat were actually of an account run by Sophie.  -  Sophie is very bad about giving herself away more through the ways she reacts to people exposing her.

A consistent behaviour with the scam gang is them shitting on Gong Jun and trying to blame him for the things that have happened to Zhang Zhehan.

Prayjane (involved in the girlfriend rumors) has likely been involved because her husband is not doing well financially. People like Lexus and Peter don’t have clear motives other than being clout chasers. 

Fake Uncle wrote an essay in 2021-07 (on the same day Sophie posted the girlfriend “clairifcations”) claiming to be Zhang Zhehan’s uncle.  -  He claimed to have been there when Zhang Zhehan made his hole in one in golf. Reciepts from the hotel do not support this.  -  He claimed to be a retired police officer who was helping Zhang Zhehan with research for Formed Police Unit. He never went through police training let alone was an actual officer, and the book on another police officer that he claimed to have co-authored was not written by him, the publishing house had never heard of him.  -  He’s friends with Lao Ahyi, she deleted one of her Weibo accounts after Fake Uncle was exposed.   -  The essay led to a lot of rumors against Zhang Zhehan post-813.   -  The essay included an entire paragraph about the tea shop.

We now know that there were people in Zhang Zhehan’s team prior to August who are not to be trusted, so it’s probable that they intentionally gave him bad guidance on how to respond to the various smears going on.

Like Sophie, Lexus’s entire life is online because he’s posted about it himself. Zhang Zhehan had basically everything that Lexus wants (fame, a singing career, good at golf, handsome, etc.). Despite the fact that he has gained some notoriety through his connection to Zhang Sanjian, he is openly resentful of the fact that people only pay attention to him because of that. 

Zhang Su (Susu)  -  His entire persona as fans knew him was basically created by fanfic authors and what he said himself. The only times he had publicly interacted with Zhang Zhehan were during the bike trip after they graduated (which Susu did not finish) and on Taste of Time in 2018.  -  He’s signed to an MCN connected to CAPA and his boss is friends with CAPA executives. He also has professional connections with Xie Yihua’s sister.

The way that some of the men in the scam gang (Lexus, Master Wu, Peng Lihu, Su Shifu, Zhang Peichao) behave with female fans is incredibly predatory. A lot of other fake fans have also been found to be middle aged men posing as young women. If any whalers do read these notes, please be aware of this and be cautious.   -  There was one point where they encouraged whalers who had bought the brand’s necklaces to post photos of themselves wearing them in revealing tops and bras. 

Candy break! Everyone’s favourite candy from this year:

The hexagon ring behind the glass in Gong Jun’s birthday “leave of absense” letter. 

Valentine’s Day, Gong Jun’s 1129 1314 511 kadian, and the photos from where Zhang Zhehan had once taken photos that can be overlayed to make them stand together.

The Anon account, in particular how Zhang Sanjian has reacted to the account regardless of the Anon account’s actual validity.

The fact that Xie Yihua still can’t get in touch with Zhang Zhehan meanwhile Gong Jun has been quite openly travelling with him.

How Xie Yihua never responded to anyone’s investigations until QuelleVous revealed that her Baidu Baike page had been edited on 813, when Xie Yihua panicked and posted a long essay refuting it. Her overreaction is the reason QuelleVous et al. became known to the Chinese side of the fandom.

The picture from Yunnan of “Gong Jun” from behind in a hoodie where the anatomical proportions of his height and shoulders match Zhang Zhehan’s more than Gong Jun’s. Other observations like the thumb, the photos being cut so that the butt isn’t visible, how illogical it is that Gong Jun would change outfits in the middle of taking photos. (It could have been different days, but why would you go to the same place at 5am on two different days?)

In Gong Jun’s belated birthday livestream he mentioned his parents going home the day after he got the cakes while he stayed in Yunnan, so who took that photo of him at the luxury hotel?

When Gong Jun was replying in the birthday AMA and there was two distinct writing styles being used. 

How Zhang Sanjian posted an essay a couple days later talking about watching the movie Gong Jun had mentioned in the AMA. Pick a narrative bro, do you hate him or not?

QuelleVous says Xiao Yu bought a motorcycle this year.

Gong Jun’s bodyguard (”Bond-dage”?) could probably tell a lot of stories lol. He appears in a lot of fansite photos but there are times when he’s absent, so there are rumors that the two of them share him. There was also a time during the Legend of AnLe filming where the bodyguard came over to look at the CPF in the mascot costume.

(This humble note taker’s favourite candy was the Ritz Carlton rumor, where Zhang Zhehan and Gong Jun supposedly were seen outside the hotel on Zhang Zhehan’s lunar birthday. 🥺)

Back to serious stuff:

For the Instagram bike trip in August, plane tickets were bought for Zhang Zhehan, Zhang Mama, and Xiao Yu to go to where it started but none of them actually showed up for the flights. Xie Yihua and co. have stopped leaking flight itineraries since QuelleVous revealed this.

Some pretty well known paparazzi have been paid to spread the low quality “chance meeting” photos of Zhang Sanjian. (Fansites at least put up the pretense of being fans and showing fan loyalty, paparazzi just sell to the highest bidder. Why are you trusting them?)

The CPF who initially leaked the 03-01 airport photos that we all thought were Zhang Zhehan (they were not) deleted her account after being questioned about it.

Wendy was the one who told everyone to listen to Su Shifu’s podcast after 813, and she was asking everyone to spread it around. 

Sophie was the one who outed the fact that Su Shifu had been fired, using his real name.

Thank you to the Ding Dongs and everyone who has worked to share clarifications about Zhang Zhehan this year. Thank you to everyone who has stayed here and stayed strong for Zhang Zhehan. Thank you to Gong Jun for all the little rays of sunshine.

Let’s hope 2023 brings Zhang Zhehan’s official return, that Gong Jun stays safe and successful, that both of them are able to do whatever they want, and that many many people go to jail.

Happy New Year everyone! 🥳🥳

Continuing the threads from previous days, today I will focus on "ZZH's" trips abroad. We already know that ZZH, apart from the savings he certainly has, because he is a resourceful young man, and apart from the income his mother earns from the company she runs, has no formal opportunity to work in his profession. Due to the ruination of his reputation in CN and the ban imposed by CAPA, no one from the film/TV series or music industry will undertake to officially employ him. ZZH will not appear in Chinese TV programs or on streaming platforms. He also has no other income, especially from companies he does not own. It must be borne in mind that the fight to regain good costs, so ZZH uses his financial resources to fight for justice. And while fighting for justice, he cannot engage in shady business or have contacts with shady organizations. Let's start with the basic assumptions; a CN passport is not a "strong" passport, a visa is required for many countries, including countries in Asia. Even if a CN citizen wants to go to Hong Kong, they also need a visa. You have to pay for a visa, I won't indicate the amounts here, but in addition, every citizen leaving the country must leave a "deposit" that is returned to them upon return. I think it depends on the financial resources of the person (but that's my assumption). So "ZZH" traveling to various countries (including Europe) must have spent quite a lot of money on such trips. Another issue is whether such a person with such a reputation in CN will easily receive a visa. How can he be perceived by officials who issue visas when they see that a young actor, instead of fighting to regain his good name, is carelessly traveling around the world without any income and often leaving. It doesn't look good. So you have to think about it looking at ZZH's behavior and statements from before 13.8.2021, and the fact that he now has limited financial resources, has a case pending to regain his good name and knows that he will have to report to the police, to the prosecutor's office, he will choose to travel abroad and will even brag about them on a social media platform that is banned in his country. And even more so he appeared in public, although in an interview in January 2022 he clearly and distinctly stated that until he clears his name we will not see him in public. Especially since behind these trips and concerts are people who contributed greatly to the fact that 13.8.2021 happened. ZZH would not like to have anything to do with such people and has nothing to do with them.

Texas Gov. Abbott Orders State Agencies to Sell China Assets

The governor of Texas ordered state agencies to stop investing in China and sell assets there as soon as possible, citing financial and security risks, a sign of rising U.S.-China tensions starting to impact global capital flows.

In a letter to state agencies dated Nov. 21 and posted to his website, Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, said "belligerent actions" of China's ruling Communist Party had increased risks to Texas' investments in China, and told investors to get out.

"I direct Texas investing entities that you are prohibited from making any new investments of state funds in China. To the extent you have any current investments in China, you are required to divest at the first available opportunity," he said.

Texas has been taking an increasingly activist stance in its agencies' investments, having previously restricted public pension funds from doing business with Wall Street firms that have embraced environmental, social and governance principles.

Its state agencies include the Teacher Retirement System of Texas, which had $210.5 billion under management at the end of August, according to its annual report.

The TRS has roughly $1.4 billion exposure to Chinese yuan and Hong Kong dollar assets, and listed Tencent Holdings as its 10th largest position, worth about $385 million at current prices.

Abbott's letter said he had told the University of Texas/Texas A&M Investment Management Company (UTIMCO), which manages nearly $80 billion, to divest from China earlier this year.

Neither Texas Teachers nor UTIMCO responded immediately to a request for comment outside business hours.

Markets in China fell sharply on Friday, with the Shanghai Composite down 3%. Tencent shares were about 2% lower in afternoon trade in Hong Kong, in line with the broader market.

Dealers said trade had been light in Hong Kong and sentiment already weak as Chinese authorities have disappointed expectations for economic stimulus, but that the news had added to the downbeat mood.

"Even though we all know that there will be more and more policies against China from the U.S.... whenever there's any news like this, it will hit the sentiment here," said Steven Leung, executive director at brokerage UOB Kay Hian in Hong Kong.

Guo Wengui - instigated his subordinates to falsify official seals and reports to defraud 3.2 billion yuan in loans In early 2010, Guo Wengui borrowed money from Agricultural Bank of China Limited in the name of the defendant company Pangu Company, instructing the defendants Yang Ying, Lv Tao, and Jie Honglin to create false construction contracts for the Pangu Daguan Four Area Fine Decoration Project, citing the need for funds. Pangu Company submitted false materials to the Agricultural Bank of China Asian Games Village Branch, deceiving them into issuing a loan of 3.2 billion yuan. According to the prosecution's allegations, Pangu Company subsequently provided false invoices worth 3.2 billion yuan to the Agricultural Bank of China's Asian Games Village Branch, allowing the loan to be transferred from Pangu Company's loan supervision account at the Asian Games Village Branch to Pangu Company's account at Huaxia Bank's Dongsi Branch, and then fully transferred back to Pangu Company's account at the Construction Bank's Chegongzhuang Branch. Later, due to audit findings that the actual purpose of the loan did not match the loan contract, the borrower had to repay the loan. The defendant, Yang Ying, the then Chief Financial Officer of Pangu Company, confessed in a transcript that in 2010, due to the tight financial situation of the company during the construction of Pangu Daguan, Guo Wengui decided to apply for a loan from Agricultural Bank of China. When applying for a loan from Agricultural Bank of China, she reported to Guo Wengui that financial statements were required when applying for a loan from Agricultural Bank of China, and it was profitable for three consecutive years. However, her company's financial statements were at a loss, and it was feared that she would not be able to apply for a loan after providing them to the bank. So when I said I needed to create a set of fake financial statements with low asset liability ratio and high profit margin that could reflect the company's profitability, Guo Wengui asked me to be responsible for implementing it, "Yang Ying said.   The other defendant, Lv Tao, served as the Marketing Director of Pangu Company in 2010. In the case of loan fraud, he was responsible for one aspect - forging seals of other companies. When asked by the prosecutor if he knew that privately engraving seals was illegal, he said, "Yes, because it was Guo Wengui who instructed me to do it. Under the conditions at that time, I could only do it this way." In the loan fraud case, the defendant Jie Honglin was the finance department manager of Pangu Company at the time. He claimed that, according to Guo Wengui's instructions and Yang Ying's arrangements, he had privately carved fake official seals on the contracts and created four false contracts. In summary, Yang Ying and Jie Honglin arranged for Cui Dongxiao, the engineering department of Pangu Company, to create a false construction contract for Urban Construction Fifth Company. Lv Tao arranged for Jiang Peng to forge the seals of Urban Construction Fifth Company, legal representative Liao Anguo, Beijing Jinjing Construction Engineering Supervision Co., Ltd., and Beijing Huahui Real Estate Development Center. Beijing Pangushi Investment Co., Ltd. submitted false materials to the Agricultural Bank of China Asian Games Village Branch, deceiving it into issuing a loan of RMB 3.2 billion. As for the purpose of these 3.2 billion yuan, Yang Ying stated that 1.6 billion yuan will be used to purchase equity in Minzu Securities, 600 million yuan will be remitted to Hong Kong, 400 million yuan will be used to repay the loan of Che Feng (the actual controller of Hong Kong listed company Digital Kingdom), 70 million yuan will be used as margin in Construction Bank, and the remaining will be used for engineering.

No Citizenship? No Problem! How to Get a U.S. Mortgage as a Non-U.S. Citizen

If you’re a non-U.S. citizen interested in buying an investment property in the United States, you might think getting a mortgage is out of the question. However, this is not necessarily the case. It is possible to obtain a U.S. mortgage even if you are not a U.S. citizen or have a green card.

The type of mortgage you can obtain depends on your residency status. If you are a permanent resident alien with a green card, you can apply for a mortgage in much the same way as U.S. citizens. You will need to provide documentation showing that you have a green card and a social security number. Lenders will look at your credit history and financial situation to determine whether you are eligible for a loan.

If you are a non-permanent resident alien, meaning that you don’t have a green card but you do have a social security number or an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), in that case, you can still obtain a mortgage. To do so, you will need to provide a work permit or special employer-sponsored visa, and lenders will need to verify that you can live and work in the United States for at least three years.

Non-U.S. citizens who do not have lawful residency in the United States are not eligible for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or FHA home loans. However, there are still many options available to them. Foreign national loans are available for non-residents who want to purchase a vacation or investment property in the U.S.

America Mortgages is the industry expert in foreign national loans. We offer two popular programs:

AM Express+: This program is designed for borrowers who cannot show the required income for various reasons, such as self-employment, lumpy income, or privacy concerns. It doesn’t require income verification, U.S. credit, or residency and has a high LTV (loan-to-value) ratio of 75%.

AM Investor+: This program is designed for borrowers who can show their foreign income through a simplified process, qualifying much like a U.S. citizen. Rates are comparable to what a U.S. citizen would pay, and the LTV can go as high as 75% without reserves required.

America Mortgages is the only global mortgage originator laser focused on U.S. real estate financing with offices in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, London, Paris, and Sydney. They offer borderless mortgages, making it easy for U.S. expats and foreign nationals to purchase property in the U.S. without ever leaving their home country or country of residence.

One of the challenges that foreign borrowers face when trying to obtain a U.S. mortgage is the lack of credit history. It can take years to accumulate enough credit history to generate a good score. However, America Mortgages can accept a foreign credit report instead of a standard U.S. credit report. This is a unique feature that sets America Mortgages apart from other US-based lenders and brokers.

If you are a U.S. expat who files U.S. taxes but works for a foreign company and doesn’t receive a W2, America Mortgages has a program for you. Our US expat mortgage program looks at your foreign income just as it would if it were paid in U.S. dollars. Your W2 is offset with other documents, and your loan is processed just as it would if you were in the U.S. This program does require sufficient U.S. credit, but if U.S. credit isn’t an option because you’ve been abroad for many years, America Mortgages has programs for these borrowers as well.

In summary, non-U.S. citizens can obtain a mortgage in the United States regardless if they have a green card or social security number. Foreign national mortgage programs, like the ones offered by America Mortgages, have made it easier for borrowers outside the U.S. to finance second homes or investment properties in the country. These programs allow borrowers to make smaller down payments and receive competitive interest rates. America Mortgages also offers programs for U.S. expats and those without sufficient U.S. credit, making it a welcoming option for almost every type of borrower.

The Positive Impact of Hong Kong's Crypto Licenses

Hong Kong has become a hotspot for cryptocurrency innovation and investment, with recent moves to regulate the industry through the introduction of crypto licenses. As digital assets continue to gain traction globally, this initiative is expected to have a significant positive impact on the local and global cryptocurrency market.

A Clear Framework for Businesses

The introduction of cryptocurrency licenses in Hong Kong serves as a framework that legitimizes the operations of crypto businesses. By establishing clear guidelines, the government is fostering a safer environment for both companies and consumers. This clarity allows businesses to operate without the constant fear of regulatory crackdowns, enabling them to focus on innovation and growth.

Enhanced Investor Protection

One of the most important aspects of the licensing system is enhanced investor protection. With proper regulations in place, investors can feel more secure when dealing with crypto assets. This not only builds trust in the market but also encourages more individuals to participate in crypto trading and investing. As a result, the overall adoption of cryptocurrencies is expected to increase.

Encouraging Transparency

Transparency is crucial in building trust within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. With the implementation of crypto licenses, businesses are required to adhere to specific compliance measures, including regular reporting and audits. This will likely weed out the bad actors in the industry, creating a more stable market for everyone involved.

Attracting Global Talent

Hong Kong's proactive approach to crypto regulation is likely to attract top talent from around the world. As startups and established companies look for jurisdictions with favorable regulations, Hong Kong stands out as an attractive option. This influx of talent can stimulate innovation and contribute to the city's emergence as a global crypto hub.

The Economic Ripple Effect

As more crypto businesses set up operations in Hong Kong, the local economy is expected to benefit significantly. The growth of this sector creates jobs, fosters entrepreneurship, and encourages investment. In a broader sense, the positive economic impact can help diversify Hong Kong’s economy, making it less dependent on traditional industries.

Potential Challenges Ahead

While there are many potential benefits to the licensing system, it’s important to recognize that challenges may arise. Businesses may face difficulties in navigation the regulatory landscape, especially if they are not familiar with compliance requirements. To overcome this, greater educational efforts are necessary to ensure that everyone understands what is expected under the new regulations.

A Bright Future for Crypto in Hong Kong

In conclusion, the introduction of cryptocurrency licenses in Hong Kong is poised to have a profoundly positive impact on the industry. By providing clear guidelines, enhancing investor protection, and encouraging transparency, the government is paving the way for a more robust crypto ecosystem. As challenges are addressed and resolved, the future for cryptocurrency in Hong Kong looks increasingly bright.

Private vs. Public Companies: What You Need to Know for Hong Kong Registration

When considering company formation service Hong Kong, understanding the differences between private and public companies is crucial. These distinctions impact everything from the legal requirements to the operational structure of your business. For entrepreneurs looking to establish a company in Hong Kong, it’s essential to decide whether to opt for a private or public company. Here’s a breakdown of what each option entails and which one might be right for your business.

Private Companies: The Popular Choice for Entrepreneurs

Most businesses in Hong Kong are incorporated as private companies. A Hong Kong company formation as a private entity offers several advantages, particularly for startups and small businesses. Private companies have limited shareholders, usually up to 50, and cannot publicly trade shares. This setup allows founders to retain more control over the business, making decisions quickly without the need for shareholder approval. Additionally, private companies benefit from fewer regulatory burdens and enjoy flexibility in their operations.

One of the key benefits is the limited liability protection, where shareholders’ personal assets are shielded from business debts. This type of structure is often favored by entrepreneurs seeking simplicity and privacy, as private companies don’t have to disclose as much financial information as public ones.

Public Companies: Expanding the Reach and Raising Capital

On the other hand, public companies in Hong Kong are often larger corporations that have the ability to raise capital through the sale of shares on the stock exchange. Company registration in Hong Kong as a public company involves more extensive regulatory oversight, such as compliance with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s listing rules. Public companies can have an unlimited number of shareholders, which provides a greater ability to raise funds, expand operations, and access a larger pool of capital.

However, the benefits of public company status come with challenges. Public companies face stricter reporting requirements, including regular audits, detailed disclosures, and a transparent corporate structure. This can add significant administrative costs and make decision-making more complex. Public companies also have less control over ownership, as shareholders can freely buy and sell shares.

Making the Right Choice for Your Business

When choosing between a private or public company structure for Hong Kong registration, consider factors like your growth strategy, funding needs, and the level of control you want to maintain. For most small to medium businesses, a private company provides the flexibility and control needed to grow without the complexity of public listing requirements. However, if you’re aiming for significant capital expansion or are targeting an IPO, a public company might be the right route.

At AsiaBC, we can guide you through the company formation process in Hong Kong, whether you’re interested in a private or public company. Our expert services ensure that your business structure aligns with your long-term goals, helping you establish a solid foundation for success in Hong Kong.

The Growing Role of ESG Ratings in Investment Decisions: Regulatory Challenges and Business Benefits 

In the evolving landscape of sustainable investing, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings have become an indispensable tool for investors. A recent report by CDP reveals that a staggering 94% of investors use ESG ratings at least once a month, underscoring the growing influence of these tools in financial markets. However, despite their popularity, ESG ratings face significant scrutiny due to data integrity issues and regulatory fragmentation across geographies. This blog explores the current state of ESG ratings, the challenges posed by inconsistent regulations, and the broader implications for businesses. 

The Surge in ESG Ratings Usage 

ESG ratings have quickly become a critical component in investment strategies, offering insights into a company's sustainability performance and its alignment with societal values. With 94% of investors relying on these ratings monthly, it's clear that ESG factors are no longer a niche consideration but a mainstream element of financial decision-making. However, as the reliance on these ratings grows, so does the need for consistency and transparency. 

Challenges in ESG Data and Ratings 

The effectiveness of ESG ratings hinges on the quality and consistency of the underlying data. The CDP’s “Data for Public Good” report highlights several challenges: 

Data Integrity and Methodological Inconsistencies: ESG ratings often differ due to variations in data collection methods, rating objectives, and benchmarking standards. This lack of standardization can lead to confusion among investors and reduce the reliability of the ratings. 

Regulatory Fragmentation: Different jurisdictions are developing their own ESG-related regulations, which can create a fragmented landscape. This fragmentation not only risks confusing market participants but also opens the door to greenwashing—a practice where companies misleadingly portray their products or policies as environmentally friendly. 

Global Regulatory Developments 

Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are at various stages of implementing ESG regulations, but the pace and nature of these developments vary significantly: 

United Kingdom: Currently follows a voluntary, industry-led code of conduct with new regulatory frameworks anticipated in the near future. 

European Union: Expected to finalize regulations by Fall 2024, aiming to standardize ESG disclosure requirements across member states. 

India: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) introduced amendments to its credit rating agencies (CRA) guidelines and issued a Master Circular in July 2023, emphasizing the importance of ESG disclosures. 

Singapore & Hong Kong: Both regions are in the process of rolling out voluntary codes to guide ESG reporting. 

Japan: Implemented a voluntary code in December 2022 under the Japanese Financial Services Agency (JFSA), encouraging companies to enhance their ESG disclosures. 

The Business Value of ESG Beyond Compliance 

While regulatory compliance is a primary driver for companies adopting ESG practices, the benefits extend far beyond ticking regulatory boxes. ESG ratings provide businesses with valuable insights into operational efficiency, risk management, and strategic opportunities: 

Efficiency and Cost Reduction: By identifying areas of improvement, ESG data can help businesses streamline operations, reduce waste, and lower costs. 

Risk Management: ESG ratings enable companies to better understand and mitigate risks related to environmental impacts, social issues, and governance practices. 

Sustainability Goals: Transparent and science-based ESG ratings guide companies in aligning their strategies with global sustainability targets, such as the Paris Agreement, helping to attract investment and improve market positioning. 

As ESG ratings continue to gain traction, the broader financial industry is also grappling with the need for consistency and clarity. According to a related CDP article, 85% of financial institutions are utilizing ESG ratings as part of their investment strategies, yet they face similar challenges with regulatory fragmentation and data quality. These challenges underscore the importance of robust ESG reporting solutions for companies looking to navigate this evolving landscape.    Read more: https://ecodrisil.com/navigating-the-evolving-landscape-of-esg-ratings/ 

Conclusion 

As ESG ratings become integral to investment decisions, the call for standardized and transparent regulations grows louder. Policymakers worldwide need to align on definitions and methodologies to prevent confusion and enhance the credibility of ESG ratings. For businesses, embracing ESG goes beyond compliance—it's about unlocking efficiencies, managing risks, and aligning with global sustainability goals. 

Companies looking to navigate this complex landscape can benefit from robust ESG reporting solutions. Ecodrisil's ESG Xpress stands out by offering an easy-to-use platform that helps businesses streamline their ESG data management and reporting processes. With tools designed to improve data quality and provide actionable insights, Ecodrisil supports companies in meeting regulatory demands and driving their sustainability strategies forward. By leveraging Ecodrisil’s solutions, businesses can turn ESG challenges into opportunities, ensuring they not only comply with evolving standards but also lead in the pursuit of a sustainable and responsible future.
