Business and Human Rights
BUSINESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS Findings • As the Chinese Communist Party and government engage in increasingly egregious human rights violations, domestic and international businesses are increasingly at risk of complicity in abuses committed by the Chinese government. Of particular concern are: reports that companies are involved in the govern- ment’s suppression of ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), including through the use of forced labor; companies’ complicity in government surveillance of individuals throughout China; and companies engaging in censorship on behalf of Chinese authorities. • In the XUAR, the actions of the Party and government may constitute crimes against humanity according to scholars and rights groups, and companies that work in the region are at great risk of complicity in those crimes. Experts have docu- mented the rapid expansion of a network of mass internment camps in which authorities have arbitrarily detained over a million individuals from predominantly Muslim ethnic minor- ity groups. Commercial entities have been directly involved in the construction of these camps and supplied them with a wide range of goods and services. The company Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology, in particular, has supplied surveillance systems to the camps as part of a public-private partnership with XUAR authorities. U.S.-based firms such as Intel, Ambarella, and Nvidia reportedly continue to supply Hikvision with critical components. According to a March 2019 report, the California State Teachers’ Retirement System and the New York State Teachers’ Retirement System both continued to own Hikvision stock. • The Commission observed numerous reports this past year of forced labor associated with government repression of ethnic minority groups in the XUAR.

CDR, or Chinese Depositary Receipt, is a security issued by a deposit custodian and listed in China on the basis of offshore securities, and represents an interest in the offshore underlying securities. CDR can be listed in Chinese A share markets and settled in RMB, and traded among domestic investors. Red-chip companies refers to those companies registered in an offshore jurisdiction, but their main business activities are within the territory of mainland China.

Guangzhou – the Capital of Guangdong Province in Southern China – Is Emerging As a Significant Economic Powerhouse in the Country
WWW.LEGALBUSINESSONLINE.COM : @ALB_Magazine : Connect with Asian Legal Business NEXT GENERATION CITIES 53 As China grows rapidly, Guangzhou – the capital of Guangdong province in southern China – is emerging as a significant economic powerhouse in the country. An economic report forecast that the city’s GDP is poised to catch up with that of Hong Kong and Singapore by 2015, and Taiwan by 2024. In fact, Guangzhou’s economic growth of 11 percent is in stark contrast to the sub-four percent figure seen in the other three jurisdictions. Guangzhou’s economy is fast developing as an important industrial base in China. The industrial output value of the three main industries – automobile manufacturing, electronic communications, and petrochemicals – accounts for about a third of the city’s output value. Other sectors are heating up too, say lawyers, who observe intellectual property, joint ventures, and M&A as some areas of growth. Guangzhou’s rise as an epicentre of activity has led to numerous foreign enterprises seeking to do business in the southern city. This has sparked several foreign law firms to set up shop, and spurred domestic law firms to bolster their existing practices in the region. (Firms are arranged in alphabetical order) DACHENG LAW OFFICES One of the largest law firms in China, Dacheng Law Offices commands an impressive pres- ence, sporting 35 offices on the mainland. In addition, the firm has seven overseas offices spanning the U.S. (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago), Paris, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. The outfit’s specialties include cor- porate M&A, capital markets, foreign direct investment, energy and mining, real estate, intellectual property, criminal law, and litiga- tion and arbitration.
