Business in China just got riskier for Canadians – but this was going to happen anyway

Dennis Kwok is partner at Elliott Kwok Levine & Jaroslaw LLP and executive chairman of China Strategic Risks Institute, a think tank set to launch on Wednesday. Sam Goodman is executive director of China Strategic Risks Institute and senior policy director at Hong Kong Watch.

This increases the risks associated with investing and operating in China, not just for those working in due diligence or the technology sector. Any foreign company attempting to investigate intellectual property theft, fraud or the influence of Communist Party cells on their local company board could now see their local executives arrested and their offices raided on spurious grounds.

Foreign investors instead are flying blind, with the implication that any data gathering on Chinese companies or the Chinese economy is now tightly bound up with national security.
