Risky Business: How Chinese Companies Use Hong Kong to Evade US Sanctions

The Chinese Communist Party is using Hong Kong as a financial gateway to evade the United States’ sanctions and funnel global investment to mainland companies. Chinese firms increasingly list themselves on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, often to avoid the scrutiny required by US markets.

Americans could therefore face undue legal and reputational risks, especially as US-China tensions grow.
