As a cross-border family lawyer in China, there are always clients from USA or China dealing with estates inheritance or asset transfer to United States.

With more Chinese people getting…

This is a hot topic in today’s China: how to move money in China to a foreign country. With the backdrop of the trade-war and tech-war between China and USA simmering with no assuring sign of cooling down, China economy has been hurt somehow, and 2019 is a tough year for China and in the meantime, United States is still looking buoyant, …
For many years, loaning activities were tightly controlled and regulated, only duly licensed banks are allowed to lend money to the public, and loans made between domestic enterprises are often held as invalid, and consequently, the borrowed shall return the loan principal to the lender and interests are seized by the state.

Here is the situation presented before me: a Chinese citizen who does business in Singapore (or USA) wishes to borrow money in USD from an American citizen, and the American lender requires security or collateral to guarantee that the borrower will be able to pay off the debts (principal and interest).

When looking at China’s management of its foreign debts, one can easily get dizzy while navigating through tons of rules that have been issued, revised and replaced frequently over time.
This post only attempts to give you a basic…
China has witnessed its foreign exchange reserve dwindling over the last couple of years on the backdrop of its economy slowing down and its attempt to maintain its currency value.
