China poate bloca plecarea din ţară a specialiştilor din tehnologie şi intensifică presiunile asupra marilor averi / Beijingul încearcă să păstreze capitalul şi talentele

China has implemented new border control regulations that allow authorities to prevent certain individuals, including wealthy citizens and tech specialists, from leaving the country. These measures aim to retain capital and talent, crucial for China's innovation and competition with the U.S. The regulations provide a legal basis for enforcing export controls and restricting travel for those violating these rules. Wealthy individuals and private bankers are also affected, facing scrutiny over their overseas activities. Additionally, foreign companies are prohibited from offering immigration services in mainland China, and local authorities have more power to restrict individuals with tax obligations on foreign assets. The tightening of regulations has led to concerns about unpredictable legal changes, prompting some to consider permanent departure from China.
