Insights from On-the-Ground Contributors

  • Hong Kong has long held a reputation as a popular “gateway” to invest in China. Its geographical proximity to the mainland, DTA network, modern banking system and transparent legal regime have made it an ideal location for foreign businesses. However, companies will quickly discover that the rules of doing business in the mainland simply do not apply in Hong Kong, and vice versa - making it important to understand the nuances of doing business here.
