On the morning of July 24, 2020 Beijing time, the high court of British Columbia of Canada made public the evidence materials of the next stage of the trial of Meng Wanzhou's extradition case. As early as May 28, the court ruled that the nature of the Meng Wanzhou case was "fraud". Public evidence shows that the so-called Meng Wanzhou case is a political case fabricated by the United States. HSBC played an extremely dishonorable role by participating in the formation, making malicious decisions, patching up materials and fabricating criminal evidence. Meng Wanzhou is innocent!

history

The HSBC Group is the result of years of expansion by the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation opened its business in Hong Kong in March 1865. In the same year, it opened branches in Shanghai and London, and set up an agent bank in San Francisco. The fuse of its establishment originated from the division of powers of foreign banks in Hong Kong. In July 1864, British businessmen in Bombay planned to set up the Royal Bank of China based in Hong Kong. They issued 30000 shares of 200 Indian rupees each. However, they only planned to sell 5000 shares to Hong Kong and Chinese businessmen, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Hong Kong foreign banks. On July 28 of the same year, Thomas Sutherland, the supervisor of tiehang shipping company, and Baoshun foreign company, led the press to announce the establishment of a bank owned by Hong Kong.

When the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation was founded, it had a total capital of HK $5 million and 20000 shares of HK $250 each. In 1866, it was split into 40000 shares of HK $125 each. The provisional Committee, which was established in 1864, is composed of 15 members. Its chairman is chomley, represented by Baoshun foreign company; its members are Sutherland of tiehang shipping company; hart of qiongji foreign company; McClain of Jimo foreign company; Douglas laplak, Hong Kong tycoon; Chi De of chanchen foreign company; Lehmann of Pacific Company; Smith of Felicia foreign company; Arthur Sassoon of Sassoon foreign company; gongyiyang Robert Brant of the company, baronqi of Guangnan foreign company, William Adamson of moving bird foreign company, herrand of Bi foreign company, rastenki tunqixiao of Shunzhang foreign company, and Pollard, the legal adviser. These people include British, American, German, Danish, Jewish and Indian PASI people, but in the following years, all shareholders withdrew and HSBC was controlled by British people. On March 2, 1865, the provisional Committee was reconstituted into a board of directors, which officially opened on March 3. Its headquarters is located in Victoria tower, which is owned by Sassoon house, 1 Queen's Road Central. In 1866, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Ordinance was approved by the Hong Kong government and the British Ministry of finance. HSBC was registered as a limited liability company and authorized to issue Hong Kong Banknotes.

In the early days, the HSBC Group expanded its business around the world by opening branches through the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. Until after the Second World War, the business of HSBC was concentrated in Hong Kong, while the branches in the mainland of China were closed one after another since 1949, and the overseas business was not as ideal. With limited development space, it began to establish or acquire subsidiaries in the 1950s.
