MEDIA ADVISORY: Hong Kong's Role as a Safe Haven for PRC Money Laundering and Sanctions Evasion

The House Select Committee on China will hold a roundtable discussion examining Hong Kong's Role as a Safe Haven for PRC Money Laundering and Sanctions Evasion. The roundtable will be held on Thursday, September 18 at 9:00 A.M. in the U.S. Capitol Building, room HVC-200.

Hong Kong’s opaque financial system coupled with high-volume, cross-border transactions from China make it a hub for hiding and obscuring dirty money. Hong Kong is linked to cases involving trade-based money laundering, shell companies, and other forms of financial fraud. This roundtable will shed light on the illicit activities taking place in Hong Kong and offer potential policy solutions to combat this nefarious activity. The event will be live-streamed.

The experts for the roundtable will be:

• Sunny Cheung, Fellow for China Studies, The Jamestown Foundation
• Samuel Bickett, Human Rights Lawyer & Convenor of the US-Hong Kong Policy Roundtable
• Kimberly Donovan, Director, Economic Statecraft Initiative, Atlantic Council 

When: Thursday, September 18 at 9:00 A.M.

Where: U.S. Capitol Building, room HVC-200
