Mr. Shangkong | Chinese firms in Hong Kong may be new paradises for 'princelings'

It's a season of change in Hong Kong. Change what? Quietly changing jobs for some important people. The US government announced last month that it would investigate JP Morgan's Hong Kong hiring practices relating to job offers for children of some important people on the mainland, and as a result, several such "important kids" working for other foreign banks are now seriously considering new jobs.

The JP Morgan case attracted attention on the mainland where the public is already angry about corruption within the ruling party. Photo: Reuters
