HONG KONG - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Hong Kong has a free market economy, highly dependent on international trade and finance - the value of goods and services trade, including the sizable share of reexports, is about four times GDP. Hong Kong has no tariffs on imported goods, and it levies excise duties on only four commodities, whether imported or produced locally: hard alcohol, tobacco, hydrocarbon oil, and methyl alcohol. There are no quotas or dumping laws. Hong Kong continues to link its currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement established in 1983.

 

Hong Kong's open economy left it exposed to the global economic slowdown that began in 2008. Although increasing integration with China through trade, tourism, and financial links aided a more rapid initial recovery than many observers anticipated, its continued reliance on foreign trade and investment leaves it vulnerable to renewed global financial market volatility or a slowdown in the global economy.

 

The Hong Kong Government is promoting the Special Administrative Region (SAR) as the site for Chinese renminbi (RMB) internationalization. Hong Kong residents are allowed to establish RMB-denominated savings accounts; RMB-denominated corporate and Chinese government bonds have been issued in Hong Kong; and RMB trade settlement is allowed. The territory far exceeded the RMB conversion quota set by Beijing for trade settlements in 2010 due to the growth of earnings from exports to the mainland. RMB deposits grew to roughly 9.4% of total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2015. The government is pursuing efforts to introduce additional use of RMB in Hong Kong financial markets and is seeking to expand the RMB quota.

 

The mainland has long been Hong Kong's largest trading partner, accounting for about half of Hong Kong's total trade by value. Hong Kong's natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be imported. As a result of China's easing of travel restrictions, the number of mainland tourists to the territory has surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 47.3 million in 2014, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. Mainland visitors to Hong Kong declined 3% in 2015 to approximately 45.7 million, reflecting an overall drop of 2.5% in total visitors to Hong Kong. Hong Kong has also established itself as the premier stock market for Chinese firms seeking to list abroad. In 2015, mainland Chinese companies constituted about 51% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 62.1% of the exchange's market capitalization. During the past decade, as Hong Kong's manufacturing industry moved to the mainland, its service industry has grown rapidly. In 2014, Hong Kong and China signed a new agreement on achieving basic liberalization of trade in services in Guangdong Province under the Closer Economic Partnership Agreement, adopted in 2003 to forge closer ties between Hong Kong and the mainland. The new measures, which took effect in March 2015, cover a negative list and a most-favored treatment provision, and will improve access to the mainland's service sector for Hong Kong-based companies. Credit expansion and a tight housing supply have caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly; consumer prices increased 2.6% in 2016, but slowed to 2.0% in 2017. Lower- and middle-income segments of the population are increasingly unable to afford adequate housing.

 

Hong Kong’s economic integration with the mainland continues to be most evident in the banking and finance sector. Initiatives like the Hong Kong-Shanghai Stock Connect, the Mutual Recognition of Funds, and The Hong Kong Shanghai Gold Connect are all important steps towards opening up the Mainland’s capital markets and has reinforced Hong Kong’s leading role as China’s offshore RMB market. Additional connect schemes from bonds to commodities and other investment products are also under exploration by Hong Kong authorities. In 2017, Chief Executive Lam announced plans to increase government spending on research and development, education, and technological innovation with the aim of spurring continued economic growth through greater sector diversification.

GENERAL

 

Having issued 100 ordinary shares, Meizu Telecom Company Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Beyond Noble International Ltd. which is a BVI-registered company.

All the directors of the subject are China merchants and currently residing in China.

The subject is a telecommunication equipment and mobile phone trader.  It is in fact a member of Meizu Group [Meizu / Group] of Companies.

The subject shares the office with its business partner Future Technology Enterprise Ltd., a Hong Kong-registered company in Hong Kong.

The subject has registered with the Office of the Communications Authority (OFCA), The Government of Hong Kong SAR, the People’s Republic of China as a Radio Dealer (Unrestricted) Licensee.  The subject bears the licence No. of RU00190102 – RU (as at 16th January, 2018).

The subject is selling the following band names of mobile phones:

PRO, MX, MEI LAN, U series, etc.

Founded in 2003 by high-school dropout Jack Wong [Huang Zhang], Meizu began as a manufacturer of MP3 players and later MP4 players.  In 2008, Meizu moved its focus to smartphones.  Now, Meizu is the 11th largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, and sold over 20 million units in 2015.  In February, 2015, Alibaba invested US$590 million in Meizu, acquiring an undisclosed minority stake.

Headquartered in Zhuhai Special Economic Zone, China, Meizu designs and produces smartphones created to provide a simple, intuitive mobile experience for people whose time is expected to be simply spent in using their devices, instead of figuring out the way of using them.

Now Meizu remains laser focused on developing innovative and user-friendly smartphones for consumers.  With more than 1,000 employees and 600 retail stores, Meizu has built a global presence in Hong Kong, Israel, Russia and Ukraine, etc.

Currently, the Group has had a number of associated companies both in China and Hong Kong.

Meizu launched the new flagship series named PRO series in September 2015 by announcing the Meizu PRO 5.  This device was also later showcased at MWC 2016 and eventually commercially released in February 2016 as an alternative edition named Meizu PRO 5 Ubuntu Edition running the Ubuntu Touch operating system.

The Meizu PRO 6, the successor to the PRO 5, was unveiled on April 13, 2016. It features a 10-core Helio X25 SoC, 4 GB of RAM and a 5.2-inch screen.

Meizu further extended its portfolio of M series products by releasing the Meizu M3S, Meizu M3 Note, Meizu M3E and Meizu M3 Max in 2016.  The current device of the MX series is the Meizu MX6, which was released on July 19, 2016. Recently, Meizu seems to be geared up for a new smartphone called as Meizu M4. Although the company hasn’t put a word about this mobile, the alleged upcoming smartphone has been spotted on TENNA certification.

The Group made a loss in 2016.  Business improved in 2017.

The subject is fully supported by Meizu Group.  History in Hong Kong is just over three years and eight months.

On the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements in small credit amounts.
