    Chinese equities – the guide March 2021 For professional investors only. In Switzerland for Qualified Investors. In Australia for wholesale clients only. Not for use by retail investors or advisers. Introduction Investors who venture into the Chinese stock universe face an alphabet soup of seemingly random letters. There are A-shares, H-shares and S-chips to name just a few (see Chart 1). These letters represent various attempts to develop the equity market in a country where people traded the first shares as long ago as the 1860s. But something resembling a modern stock market, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, didn’t start operations until 1 December 1990.1 Shenzhen beat Shanghai as the first exchange of the modern era by some three weeks.2 The Hong Kong Stock Exchange, a forerunner to the city’s current bourse, began operations in 1914 but developed under British colonial rule.3 Investors view Hong Kong as a separate and distinct market.

  • The Mofo Guide to Hong Kong Ipos a COMPLEX SUBJECT MADE SIMPLE
    THE MOFO GUIDE TO HONG KONG IPOS A COMPLEX SUBJECT MADE SIMPLE. A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE. INNOVATIVE IDEAS. PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS. This IS MOFO. LearN MOre at www.MOFO.COM. FOrewORD The transition from private to public ownership is a major step in the lifecycle of a company, involving a complex and often challenging process of dealing with regulators, investors and professional parties, while continuing to run the company’s business. As one of the world’s preeminent international financial centers, Hong Kong has become a destination of choice for many companies seeking to make this transition through an initial public offering (“IPO”) and listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The MoFo Guide to Hong Kong IPOs (“Guide”) aims to help companies and their advisers successfully navigate this transition by providing a comprehensive overview of the IPO process in Hong Kong, with an emphasis on listings on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Guide covers the IPO process from the preliminary planning stages and pre-IPO considerations all the way up to, and including, a listed company’s post-IPO obligations. The Guide also discusses listing issues pertinent to companies in specific industries, such as mineral and natural resources companies, as well as issues that arise when conducting an international offering to investors in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. Practical tips are included throughout the Guide based on our experience advising on Hong Kong IPOs over the years. While we have tried to make the Guide as informative as possible, please kindly note that it is only an overview of the major legal, regulatory and practical issues involved in the Hong Kong IPO process as of November 5, 2012 and therefore should not be relied upon as legal advice in any jurisdiction.

  • Resurgence of Indigenous Religion in China Fan Lizhu and Chen
    Resurgence of Indigenous Religion in China Fan Lizhu and Chen Na1 Many scholars have observed in recent years that religion and spirituality are resurgent around the world. Contrary to the predictions of sociologists and others that modern society will eventually become completely secularized, it appears that human beings are engaged in a wide range of religious and/or spiritual experiences, disciplines, beliefs, practices, etc. that were virtually unimaginable two decades ago. In this chapter we seek to provide evidence that traditional (also known as primal, traditional, folk, indigenous, etc.) religions are also involved in this revitalization, not just Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and other religions. We will focus on the People’s Republic of China as an extended case study of the widespread return to religion and spirituality around the world. Some of our discussion will be based on findings from our own research in China in both urban and rural areas. During the last thirty years many people in mainland China have rediscovered and revitalized their earlier religious and ritual practices. Kenneth Dean estimates that one to two million village temples have been rebuilt or restored across China, and ritual traditions long thought lost are now being re-invented and celebrated in many of these temples.1 This very rough figure of well over a million village temples does not include the tens of thousands of large-scale Buddhist monasteries and temples, Daoist monasteries and temples, Islamic mosques, and Christian churches (Catholic or Protestant) that have been rebuilt or restored over the past three decades. Recent anthropological 1 Fan Lizhu, Professor of Sociology, Fudan University.
