Set up a China Virtual Phone Number

If your office needs to communicate with Chinese investors and Chinese business partners on a daily basis, Skype call might be helpful. However not everyone in China know how to use Skype.  One of the best tools for communicating with Chinese is to have a China Virtual Number.  The Chinese local phone number will be tied to your US office landline or cellphone number, all inbound calls from China will be directed to your office or cell phones. Chinese callers will only pay a local toll rather than international calling fees.  To set up your own China Virtual Number is very easy and only costs less than $10 per month. 

You can choose and set up your own China Virtual phone number in just a few minutes at http://www.ChinaVirtualNumber.com, no contract is needed.  The service is provided by China's leading phone service China Telecom.

Chinese interest in emigrating to US continues to be strong

(Source: Hurun.net) The number of Chinese high net worth individuals who have emigrated, or are planning to do so, rose from 60% to 64%, accounting for 1 in 3 super-rich. 

The United States is still the destination of choice, while the number of individuals emigrating to Europe has increased. Although the amount of people emigrating to Australia has increased in comparison to last year, very few of the super-rich choose to move there. It is worth noting that of the 64%, only 15% are looking to give up their Chinese nationality, with the majority looking to a permanent residency overseas.

Chinese nationals required to report foreign assets

Chinese nationals will be required to report their overseas assets and debt situation to the country's State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), the new regulation will become effective January 1, 2014. The move is an attempt by SAFE to keep an eye on outbound investment and money transfers. Many Chinese investors and corrupt officials are using illegal methods to transfer large amounts of capital to foreign countries, including the USA. The Chinese company party also takes measures to require high ranking party officials to report family's overseas connections and family member's immigration status.
