Offtopic question, but I was talking to someone today who's parents had business in china, but why would they not open a bank account if they are a canadian resident and lived here for 15 years? Is it something to do with tax evasion?

Great customer service, I think teller's name was Grace Ng. Super helpful and decent english too, guy she helped before me was super appreciative of how considerate she was.
Can confirm monday is the last day. I have a feeling when BOCHK calls me and asks my citizenship I will slip out "Canadian" but whatever, fingers crossed.
The fees they charge if you're below minimum balance are pretty expensive eh?

Sadly, don't think there is another round this year....but in Macau, they have been paying over 50,000 = $6200cdn in the past 4 years. I am expecting another $1000cdn will be paid this year, awesome government they are.

The HK $6000 scheme is also exactly the same. Hush hush money, but it doesn't seem to work on such a large population, as we see with all the protests that continue to take place. In fact the latest protests (the government wanted to add "morality lessons" to the compulsory school curriculum.. basically teaching HK students how to be good communists) was eventually shot down due to starvation and student walkout protests.

| it works because the Macau government get paid 50billion from the casino tax, only 3% used in government expenses and welfare, 2% to those hush hush cash. What happen to the rest of the money? who knows. Probably people are balling in communist style.  Quote:
