While Europe and North America<\/strong> tend to turn away from China, it\u2019s worth remembering that Greater China remains the world\u2019s second-largest economy<\/strong>. With 1.3 billion inhabitants<\/strong> and a growth rate many envy, the region\u2019s importance cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n In the wake of the pandemic, many decisions were made hastily, driven by uncertainty. There was a wave of doubt about Hong Kong<\/strong>, with some businesses looking to Singapore<\/strong> as an alternative. However, these decisions often failed to account for the significant jurisdictional differences<\/strong>, making comparisons less meaningful.<\/p>\n Others turned to the Emirates<\/strong>, seen as a \u201cpromised land.\u201d Yet, the region remains in its early stages of development, and its long-term appeal is uncertain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Now is the time to step back<\/strong>, breathe, and think strategically. As I always advise my clients:<\/p>\n Unless there are compelling reasons otherwise, Hong Kong remains one of the best jurisdictions in Asia\u2014and beyond\u2014for trading and setting up SPVs.<\/strong><\/p>\n Objectively, Hong Kong\u2019s advantages are hard to challenge<\/strong>. Its regulatory framework is open and flexible<\/strong>, offering businesses the stability they need to thrive in a competitive global market.<\/p>\n When considering future growth, is there any region more promising than China?<\/p>\n India often comes up in discussions, but have you ever set foot there? Well I have and honestly, so far, my conclusion is that unless you can build your own road from your company to the airport<\/strong>, don\u2019t think about it. Setting up in India is probably as challenging as competing with American Players on American soil; not impossible, but you\u2019d better know what you\u2019re doing and come in strong.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t overlook the world\u2019s largest market in the world, China<\/strong>, with a business ecosystem designed to welcome international players\u2014especially through Hong Kong.<\/p>\n Hong Kong\u2019s integration into the Greater Bay Area (GBA) <\/strong>– linking Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Macau, and Hong Kong <\/strong>– is a game-changer. This economic zone is one of the largest and most dynamic globally<\/strong>, offering:<\/p>\n Did you know? You can now:<\/p>\n With these advantages, you pay only Hong Kong taxes<\/strong> on eligible income\u2014a significant edge in global trade.<\/p>\n Before making any decisions, take the time to carefully evaluate your options. Hong Kong remains a standout jurisdiction<\/strong> for businesses seeking access to China, the GBA, and beyond.”<\/p>\n Ready to explore the opportunities?<\/em><\/strong> Call us today!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Vincent de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry<\/strong>, Co-Founder and Director<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Dear Clients, Partners and Friends, While Europe and North America tend to turn away from China, it\u2019s worth remembering that Greater China remains the world\u2019s second-largest economy.
