Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I check the foreign investment negative list in China?

China's Foreign Investment Negative List is published through official government channels. Check the current edition before making an investment decision, as sector access rules may change.

Is a trademark registered abroad protected in China?

Usually not. Trademark rights are territorial, so protection generally applies where the mark is registered. If China protection is needed, a separate China trademark registration should be considered.

How can profits earned in China be remitted overseas?

Profits earned in China can be remitted overseas when the transaction is genuine and tax and related regulatory requirements are met. The practical route depends on the investment structure and payment arrangement.

What is the difference between consulting and execution service?

Consulting determines the appropriate path, structure, and compliance requirements before action is taken. Execution begins after that decision, when company, visa, bank, tax, or trademark work moves into formal filing and document handling.

Do I need a Hong Kong holding company to invest in Mainland China, or can I invest directly?

It is not legally required; you can invest directly from your home country. However, many foreign investors use a Hong Kong company to benefit from flexible ownership transfers, tax treaties, and easier cross-border fund flows. We help you compare both options based on your specific business goals.
