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. This means that American investors may be unknowingly funding sanctioned entities or firms tied to human rights abuses. Americans could therefore face undue legal and reputational risks, especially as US-China tensions grow.
Join Hudson for an event examining new research about how Beijing exploits Hong Kong’s unique position and why economic and political developments on the island matter for US policymakers and the interests of Americans.
